>Do any of you have some interesting plural forms that you could note here?
Well, I like millennia, which seems to be coming under threat from millenniums. It's not so much a prescriptivist thing (I say forums, not fora), as an aesthetic thing. I just think millennia sounds nicer. A google comparison still gives millennia a huge lead, but the ums are gaining, it seems.
