If you think this is a spelling/grammar error pls file a Bug report.
Write there, where you get spelling/grammar error f.e. on what module, which tab etc.

If Bonus is a dervied from a 4th declension word in Latin then the plural is Bonuses.
An example of this is the word Syllabus. The correct plural is syllabuses, but everyone makes the mistake of using syllabi.
In any case use this as your own starting point for research my last latin class was over 6 years ago :p.

Linkage
3rd table from top
However, if bonus has been assimilated by AE or BE, the plural form bonuses might still be right. Though it might not be THE only plural form to be used, since bonus is not of english origin and thus can still have the plural form boni. :P
That's my point of view. You can of course disagree... but I dunno how we can get a consensus here :P

And if it's a first/second declension adjective (oh, wait, it is) it would be boni.
i orum is os is. :)
Debateable if this translates into English, but it's basically directly taken from Latin, so I'd consider it valid...
