Yetis?

The plural of penis always was an odd thought to me.....penii?
thats a headscratcher
Penis's? Penis-sus? PENIS? Who knows?
Kiff, we have a conundrum...
Maybe....erm.... I have no idea. Apparently it's penus
Nah, I think penus is just a hilarious mispelling caused when drunk and writing on passed out people's faces.

So I was watching a horrible monster movie today, and it got me thinking...
What is the plural form of Yeti? I just can't figure it out.

I ask you, noble escapists, what are your opinions on the matter? And what word's plural form eludes you?
Dear God, you watched that too? It was so laughably bad.

Anyway, I think it would be Yetis.

It's yeti. But it doesn't matter because they most likely don't exist(though it woudl be awesome if they did)

As for penis... penii sound way too roman. I'd have to claim that it's penisi or penis'. But really, when are you ina situation where you need to address more than one? Or you could justc call it something else. Perhaps it's why the word Dick was invented(other than being a family name)

I googled it, and that [http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2139/what-is-the-plural-of-penis] came up as the first one.....hmmm, I wonder why

I've just always heard it said "penises"
That's probably the most likely

English is one of those funny languages.

And I don't mean funny as in humorous, I mean funny as in farm.

I suppose there's nothing wrong with the plural of Yeti being Yeti, but pronounced differently. Instead of yett-ee, it's yett-eye.

A group of friends and I were trying to determine the plural form of the word "pelvis"...we came up with pelvi.

penis, mongoose(mongeese?), platapus (platapi?)
Platapi is my favouritist word ever.

And I think the plural of Yeti is Yeti.

The plural of dice still confuses me. Dices? Dici? Doose?

Edit: I retract my question, I have now been educated.

But, Dice is already a plural... it's the plural of die.

EDIT: Ninja'd... wait, what is the plural of Ninja'd?

Dice IS the plural, the singular of dice is die. :)
I was going to write something very similar. It is astonishing how many of these people claim to be interested in these things and fail to open a dictionary. Hint: IT IS ALL IN THERE.
Why use a dictionary when you have the escapist forums?
