We call it gyros, and for a moment there I thought Craig ate gyrostabilizers
Basically, gyros is a derivative of the turkish kebab, with a slightly different selection of meat and spices.
But I believe in a varied diet. Don't think I could eat the same thing more than three times in a tenday, you have to spice it up. Eating the same thing every day would probably bum me out completely, I don't know how you guys do it.
It might be a translation/language quirk, since typically -s denotes plural form so "gyro" would be one yummy Greek sammich and "gyros" would be multiples But the proper name is actually "gyros" for a single?
In Greece, we call it either "Pita-Gyro" or "Souvlaki". Sometimes we call it just "Gyro".
As for the "s" at the end of the word, there isnt any, even though it should be "gyros", but it has a Turkish origin (kebab), so I guess it has something to do with that.
I personally call it "Pita-Gyro", like most Greeks 
The -s for plural is only in English and in a few other languages. I do think the proper name is gyros, but Greek has some kind of context-sensitive quirk of dropping the last letter when the object is in the presence or something like that..
Yes, that is correct, the last letter is dropped, in this case, it is "gyro", although nobody will correct you if you call it "gyros". I've heard it both many times here 
but I think the proper plural is gyra. Then again, I mightbe wrong. It's been known to happen.
No, gyra is wrong. If you are talking about the food "gyro", then the proper plural is still "gyro", it remains unchanged, like the word "sheep".
But if you are talking about "gyros" which translates to "turn, revolve" in English, then the proper plural is "gyroi", (pronounced as giri) OR "gyrous" (pronounced as girus), depending on how you use the word in a sentence.
The meat used to make Pita-Gyro, is being held on a metal rod, revolving next to a heat source, and that is where it got its name from. In Greek, "gyrizei" OR "kanei gyrous" while being cooked.
Here's an image to see what I'm talking about:
You can imagine these things revolving, while being cooked.
Now, Pita are these things here: (without the tomatoes of course)
These hold the meat, onion, potatoes, tomatoes, sauce, etc and this is basically what we call, a Pita-Gyro.
