Note
The -es spelling follows the double s at the end of discuss and adds a syllable in speech. Because the verb is transitive, the topic follows directly: she discusses the plan, not discusses about the plan. The same form once carried meanings now obsolete, such as to shatter or to disperse a tumor. In law it can still mean exhausting a remedy against a principal debtor before proceeding against the surety.
