Plural of snus?

[Snusdog]

Exactly. Type snuses in Google. Snus has apparently followed the form fish/fishes rather than sheep/sheep. It can be both a singular and a plural noun as snus and becomes snuses when referring to more than one of different types or varieties.

Wittgenstein also pointed out that there is a difference between a word being meaningful and a word having meaning. snuses may be meaningful in that we all know what we are trying to say but it does not mean that it facilitates a clear understanding of its reference. Snuses mis-denotes the nature of what we are taking about and thus clouds rather than clarifies.

Now in truth, we may never notice this confusion. It may never effect what we are trying to say. But consider, just because we don’t notice the pickpocket does not mean that we have not been impoverished (in fact it more likely insures that we have). Language matters. Ideas count. When either are neglected or become sloppy, you will be robbed.

Nice to see so many fans of linguistics on the boards. A smart bunch we are. At the risk of negating my own post, I'm sticking with sneese. Incorrect, but fun to say. Like "deers".

reeses sneeses

Ok my vote is for sneese

VBS, snusa was closa but sneese is sweeta

Also, while I like snoogol, I fear it sounds too close to the verb snoogle (to search for snus on line) and thus may cause confusion.
