Tarminic Black Flame Industries	Posted - 2007.05.06 16:09:00 - [3] Feri? Feroxi? <sig> IBTL! IBDS! IBTC! 1st in a BoB Post! And other such forum tom-foolery. Join my Corporation! Can I lock sigs for tom-follery? - Ductoris
Ortu Konsinni KIA Corp KIA Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.06 16:10:00 - [4] I concur with Feroxes. Feri or ferii makes no sense whatsoever. If you want to stay true to Latin rules, then I believe the plural of "Ferox" should be "Feroces" (feh-roh-kess). Which is stupid. Stick to English rules and keep it simple :) --- High quality pics of ALL EVE ships!

Bisesa	Posted - 2007.05.06 16:19:00 - [6] Feroces is the correct plural, but since it is an adjective and not a noun, flexing it makes no sense at all, especially since being consistent with latin grammar would also mean using the proper declensions, which would be nuts.

So you have to apply the rules for name pluralization : Linkage So you're free to use whatever plural you like, even not use a plural form at all. Mildly put, it's more of a guideline as a rule. All of the below are valid... Several Ferox Some Feroxes A couple of Feroce My Feroces Many Feroxi and many other like the ones above... _ MySkills \| Module/Rig stacknerfing explained
Sokratesz Paradox v2.0 1 Shot 1 Kill	Posted - 2007.05.06 19:57:00 - [17] Any other Eve name plurals we can discuss here? I find it mildly amusing.
ItsALion GetInTheCar	Posted - 2007.05.06 20:03:00 - [18] Considering how crappy ships they are, why not just call them Fecies?

Justice Bringer Minmatar Combined Technologies	Posted - 2007.05.06 22:25:00 - [23] Originally by: Sokratesz Originally by: VanNostrum Boni or bonuses, just as good ;) No actually it's only 'bonuses' not boni. The word boni is a misnomer and does not exist in the English Dictionary, well not in mine anyway. Bonus (pl - es) therefore bonuses
J'Mkarr Soban Amarr Viziam	Posted - 2007.05.06 22:36:00 - [24] If we speak latin, we use latin pluralisation. Alas, we don't. So, it takes the most common form. For instance, up until a few years ago the accepted plural of virus was viri. However, given the extent of coverage of computer viruses, it changed to viruses. It doesn't really matter imho. I think the only true pluralisation that still exists is radius to radii. -J --------------------------------- "He who 'hah hahs' last, 'hah hahs' best." - Nelson Balanced != Nerfed
Mathias Orsen	Posted - 2007.05.06 22:49:00 - [25] Originally by: J'Mkarr Soban It doesn't really matter imho. I think the only true pluralisation that still exists is radius to radii. And fungii. Who says funguses? -------------------------------------- ---"What's in your wallet?"--- "There are two kinds of respect, fear and admiration.... I'll take what I can get"

I think the only true pluralisation that still exists is radius to radii. And fungii. Who says funguses? It's fungi though, not fungii. And funguses is accepted. Just like radiuses. Rhinoceros -> rhinoceri, hippopotamus -> hippopotami, octopus -> octopi are other examples of extant Latin forms. If it were only for me, they'd be long gone in the name of consistency, but whatcha gonna do? --- High quality pics of ALL EVE ships!

Just like radiuses. since when have those abominations against english been "accepted" and to the OP: its obviously ferokshesh "Planets and moons no longer hitch rides on player ships. Their towel privileges have been revoked." HHGG Lives on in EVE!
Amanda Shadowsword Caldari	Posted - 2007.05.07 01:05:00 - [29] the plural of Ferox is ....... Ferox You have a ferox, 2 ferox and 3 ferox simple as that. its the same for Weetabix. As in you say i'll have two weetabix please, not can a have 2 weetabixes.
Dahak2150 Chaos Monkeys	Posted - 2007.05.07 01:42:00 - [30] Rofl. That's what I say when I see more than one ferox, 'cause they simply should be in drakes... So.....yeah. 1x = Ferox. 2x+ = Rofls ---------------- If you're on IE, pretend this is transparent while you get a browser that supports .png.
