Note
A regular plural with the usual spelling shift: the final y of monthly follows a consonant, so it becomes -ies. Only the noun takes it. The adjective and adverb (a monthly bill, paid monthly) never add an s. The noun can mean a publication issued once a month or, as a euphemism, the menstrual period. The plural can point either way, so let context make your meaning clear.
