Nouns in y.
Final y not immediately preceded by a vowel is changed into ies: lady, ladies. .
But when a vowel immediately precedes, the y remains unchanged: boy, boys; day, days; chimney, chimneys; attorney, attorneys. Nouns ending in -quy take ies: soliloquy, soliloquies. Proper names in y do not usually change the y: the three Marys (but also Maries). So also guy makes guys.
Obs. Such spellings as chimnies, attornies, although frequently used, are accordingly to be avoided
