The Latins cannot understand why a world power, such as the United States, permits a bush-league Kremlin stooge to push us around.
Then he tells him to become an ally with King Evander of the Arcadians who has been an enemy of the Latins for a long time.
There's the fiery passion of the Latins , the cold implied fetishism of the Eastern European, and the faith-based frigidity of white Anglo-Saxons.
When the Latins were here they named it Pyura stolonifera, but indigenous and other native-born Australians and others call it cunjevoi, or just plain cunji.
Despite caricatures about hot-blooded Latins and stiff-lipped Brits, we are, when it comes to emotions, all too human under the skin.
This is just as if the Latins , instead of nos and vos, said me-cum and te-cum.

Pluralization of Latin-based nouns is a complicated field. Preference for Latin or English plural endings is inconsistent in similarly constructed words, as is the presence of alternative forms at all.
Here’s a guide to plural forms for Latin words, identifying, for more than a hundred nouns of Latin origin and a few similarly constructed terms from other languages, which ending among two or three alternatives is preferred for particular words or in which contexts various alternative forms are employed.

vertebra : vertebrae or vertebras ( vertebrae is sometimes incorrectly used to refer to a single vertebra )

This list is a keeper. I like that the more commonly used version is listed first. (Though in many cases, I prefer to use the Latin, or French, or other foreign language version, regardless.) Thanks!
“We speak of referendums, not referenda, on the advice of the editors of the Oxford English Dictionary: ‘Referendum is logically preferable as a plural form meaning ballots on one issue (as a Latin gerund referendum has no plural). The Latin plural gerundive referenda, meaning “things to be referred”, necessarily connotes a plurality of issues.'”
From page 1 of Butler, D., & Ranney, A. (1994). Referendums around the world: The growing use of direct democracy. American Enterprise Institute.
Mark, this is a very nice, very useful article. I am also pleased that you tackled a lot of technical words from engineering, physics, and mathematics: e.g.
minima, maxima, spectra, automata, phenomena, radii, strata (actually geology), vertices, vortices, indices, axes, formulas (only British-types stick with formulae), and so forth.
“Media” is used in physics (especially in wave propagation), mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, etc. Example sentence: “Sound and light propagate at different speeds in different media,” where “media” refer to air, water and other liquids, vacuum, glass, crystals, metals, rock strata, ceramics, and so forth.
Mark, your Big Winner is this one: “antenna: antennas or antennae (only antennae is correct for the sensory organs on animals; antennas in more common in other contexts)”.
“Antennas” is used almost universally in electrical engineering and physics. See the textbook ANTENNAS, published by Dr. John D. Kraus in 1950, and its footnote on page one that says “antennas” is for technical uses, but “antennae” is used in zoology, especially concerning insects, crustaceans, scorpions, etc. ANTENNAS was the title of the textboo
