[38c] bronze colossus plural
« on: July 14, 2008, 10:44:54 pm »
I'm reporting this 38c bug, since I assume it won't have been changed in the new release.  The proper plural of colossus is colossi, I noticed that in the prefstring of one of my dwarves the plural is stated as colossuses.  Nitpicky little detail and unimportant for gameplay, yes, but I just thought I'd mention it.

If software was real world, then it'd be something equivalent of hitting a nail with a hammer and having a building collapse on the other side of town.

Don't worry people, sometimes -moments occur

pl. co·los·si or co·los·sus·es

Seen that a few different places.  I guess the 'i' would be the greek way of doing it.  I don't remember what other conventions I've taken, but the word has been in english long enough that both plurals are fine it seems.
