Current Entryスクランブルドエッグズ /(n) scrambled eggs/ (1068520)
Headword 1スクランブルドエッグズ
Part-of-speechn
English 1scrambled eggs
CommentWhen I googled this on 2.6.09, I got 174 hits. By contrast, スクランブルエッグ resulted in 621,000 hits. Furthermore, the Japanese Wikipedia entry is under スクランブルエッグ, and in that entry, neither スクランブルエッグズ nor スクランブルドエッグズ are listed as alternatives, but スクランブルドエッグ is (5690 hits). I suggest deleting this entry.
(As I'm sure you're aware, morphology is normally lost in 外来語, and that's why スクランブルエッグ is the most common term, found not only colloquially but also on menus (e.g., Gusto, Jonathan's, etc.).
