Hi s-j-f

someone from EB will get your DOBs to you in the next day or two, but I just thought I'd mention that the plural of "Axis" is "Axes" - potentially confusing to the uninitiated, I know, but I figure that in the end it just helps keep the peons in the dark

The more Axes the better!

I disagree!
If the name were Axe then you would be correct.
I would say that the plural to Axis would be Axii.

Actually, it doesn't much matter whether you agree with me or not, as it is perfectly clear to anyone who can pick up a copy of Webster's or Oxford English that I am absolutely correct...

Now move along - one clue per customer today, thank you...

I would say Axi myself!

I took 4 years of Latin, and the axis/axes thing strikes me as a Greek root. (Yes, the Romans borrowed a lot from the Greeks.. architecture, religion, and lots of words!)

Jimi *is* right.. just as "indices" is the plural of index.. even though anyone who's ever read a database manual will see that 'indexes' is used on a large scale, even though it's incorrect!

Whoever is thinking axii is plural.. that would be a Latin plural form (nominative case, male gender), but the singular would have to be 'axus'.

Got your nerd on yet, Betty B?

My apologies to Jimi D. You are the grammar master. I am again the victim of being bilingual. Axii sounded good to me just as the plural of radius, etc... But I am incorrect.

I could argue that in this case "Axis" is a name and therefore would not follow typical grammatic protocol, but I won't continue kicking the horse!
I will just say "many or more axis"!

I took plenty of math to know that "axes" is the plural of "axis", but I just think its fun to come up with new words


isn't that the origin of many words anyway? people making up new ones?

oh and here's my nerd face:
