Title: Internet squabbles and snowflakes
Post by: Nick on July 11, 2018, 03:37:26 PM
Someone on a forum I occasionally go to was using the word medias. I politely pointed out that media is the plural of medium and there is no such word as medias in English.

She disagreed (American  ::) ) so I sent a couple of links about Latinate plurals  angel1

She grudgingly acknowledged her error and then complained about me.

I have a 24 hour suspension  ::)
