axis axes /ˈæksiːz/

According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary (http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/mongoose) the correct plural can be either mongooses or mongeese.

also i'm pretty sure its just germanic and romantic

Tweek
09-20-2009, 9:05 PM
would not the plural of penis be peni?
it doesnt make sense because it ends in -is, not -us which do not have the same sound

Tweek
09-20-2009, 9:07 PM
this whole thread is just retarded

The_Solipsist

also i'm pretty sure its just germanic and romantic

german-speakers conquered the anglos and then the christians came in and tired to convert them

words like pork and veal opposed to pig and cow are good examples of the cultural difference in romantic and anglo-saxon, as the anglos were subject to being the laborers, as to where the high class spoke latin(french), so the food served to them was named more pleasing to the ear
