Is the pluarl of monkey, monkeys or monkies?

I checked on the internet and it seems to be monkeys. Though I always thought the plural of a word which ended with an 'ey' had to end with an 'ies'.

Anyone know...?
 
Thanks PurpleAlien.

So is there not a rule whereby the plural of words which end in an 'ey' has to end in an 'ies'?
 
Hi Zoe,

Can I ask how your question originated ?

I am sure I saw monkies in print somewhere today, but I can't remember where. Perhaps it is just a coincidence !
 
Thanks very much for that Penang. Most helpful, thanks.

It's definitely just a coincidence Polo-Boy. I'm not publishing anything about monkeys!
