That's what happens when your language is the endpoint of three different language groups mixing. This shit literally drives me nuts. There's an Italian restaurant around that I think closed down now that was called "La Nonna's" which makes no fucking sense whatsoever. It's using an Italian article and the English possessive contraction. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv <cite>Tyranthraxus posted [p:905502668] in "graf...

It's using an Italian article and the English possessive contraction. Yeah, but technically, since English steals so many words from other languages, once a word has been stolen, it's not technically 'wrong' because it starts following English rules instead of the native rules it was created for. <cite>Dash_Harber posted [p:905502704] in "graf...

People still pluralize it though and say "paninis". You're always allowed to pluralize a loan word in your own language though. That's why Octopuses and Octopodes are both acceptable, but Octopii isn't. --- http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg <cite>Anteaterking posted [p:905502728] in "graf...

That's why Octopuses and Octopodes are both acceptable, but Octopii isn't. Octopi isn't acceptable because of it's language roots. Not the other way around. English already has a great deal of nonstandard pluralization so it shouldn't make a difference at this point.

I was just saying that pluralizing in the wrong language (Latin in this case) is wrong, so it's not as simple as "Pluralize however you want". Tyranthraxus posted...

Right, but most of those words are considered English words rather than loan words. --- http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg <cite>Anteaterking posted [p:905503954] in "graf...
