Scripsit Wilson Gray:
>>>>>
If, as is the case with, e,g, "media," you want to use a Latin plural
as an English singular, then you probably pluralize that word as an
English singular by adding "-s," instead of adding another Latin plural
- one of the wrong gender, at that, i.e. adding the feminine plural
nominative ending to a word that already has the correct neuter plural
nominative/accusative ending - to the already-pluralized Latin word, as
is the present case.
And yet, there those who claim that a classical education has no value
in this modern world!;-)
