Usage notes
The unchanged plural (die) Bachelor is in practice more common than (die) Bachelors, though only the latter form is recognized by Duden. The plural is often, however, avoided in writing by means of using a compound word (de Bachelorabschlüsse or de Bachelorabsolventen, depending on the sense). This is particularly so in the dative plural, where the form (den) Bachelorn—although perfectly acceptable in speech—may be considered disturbing to the eye.
