    Benito's guide to pluralization, you idiots

    Not implying that you need it*, but this is just a kind of FYI post for people who are interested in learning more about pluralizing some English words, particularly loanwords from Latin. Please, enjoy.

    "loanwords"? Are we planning on giving them back?

    Will this be packaged with your guide on pretentiousness? Or do I have to get them separately?

    They come together. If you don't like them, you can always exchange them for the ignorance and apathy two-pack.

    perhaps it's just me...but i tend to not judge people by their grammatical skills on a message board. people type fast and post fast. that's okay. just like i don't care if people fumble things in an actual conversation 'cause, hey, mistakes happen.

    Good grief man. That probably took a while to compose. Sad to say, but fighting bad grammar is like trying to hold back the tide.
