It's not "new years", by the way. It's "new year", as in "happy new year". I forgive you, though, because that's a common mistake. I think you maybe meant to say "happy new year's day" but forgot the "day" bit; "new year's day" works as well (note the apostrophe).

it's a different "new year" experience for each person, hence happy new years. Thanks.
Unless you're using a different calendar, such as a lunar calendar or maybe a calendar you yourself defined (which would be impressive), and unless you know that the people you are talking to are also using non-Gregorian calendars, then there really is only one year that is starting today. If you want to incorporate people's experiences into the mix, then I suggest the following sentence: "I hope each one of you have a great experience in the new year." Note the lack of plurality on "year".
Also, you're totally welcome. I'd be happy to correct your mistakes anytime.

Brevity has value. Thanks.
Or what if it's just a lazy person's way of saying "Happy New Year" but since it's plural it indicates that it's also for the following years so they don't have to type it again next year.
Ok that was obviously not the intention but I'm a lazy dude and I like that idea better.

You too thanks.
Ah, I see! That means that we won't be seeing riince again next year, and he won't use this phrase anymore. I can live with that.Westonini wrote:

I totally agree. "Happy new year" is actually shorter than "happy new years", dontcha know. By your own logic, you used an inefficient (and might I add incorrect) phrase instead of cutting it one character shorter and therefore making it more valuable (and infinitely more correct). That's cool.Vuelo Eluko wrote:
