The real question is what is the plural of dildo? dildoes, dildos... ARGH!

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.
Two Red Mages and a white mage. In one topic. Now I really can't wait for FF13.

OT: Whats the plural for Universe? Universes? Universi? What's the plural for certain Pokemon? Like Ekans.

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?
Isn't the plural of dice, just dice? Or die, depending on what you call them.

Jesus. I think it would be really cool if the plural of Jesus was Jesii. It's like Yoda and the Jesus had a baby.
No one else noticed this? Wow. It pretty much ended the thread for me as I basically died laughing.

There.
Would everyone please just read this post and go home.

(p.s. Penises is often referred to in the Latin plural form by doctors. The Latin plural is penes.)

Yetis?

The plural of penis always was an odd thought to me.....penii?
Probably just Yeti as in "Look at all those bloodthirst Yeti that are about to eat, digest, and shit out us."

As for the Plural of penis, anytime it's been brought up on a TV show they said penises, so lets go with that.

Just for information's sake, the correct plural of octopus is octapode. That is all.

Yeti - yeti. Ninja - Ninja. Octopus - Octopi. Penis - Wangs. Ox - Oxen. Moose - Moosen. OK, so that last one is BS. Also, Die - Dice. Datum - Data.

Is the plural of fatman (as in the launcher in Fallout) fatmans or fatmen. The latter sounds daft, but the former sounds kinda wrong.

If you want to be absolutely 100% correct the plural form of penis is penes or simply penis in the Latin language. But you can also say penises, all three of them are gramatically correct.

Apparently it's not. I was once told I was stupid for saying that. I'm told it's penises.
