Reversion of your edit
Lest it is not clear, I reverted your "correction" because the sentence is explaining what not to, making a deliberate error to illustrate. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 22:15, 14 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the clarification (and for reverting the misguided edit.) As an experienced editor, do you think that the deliberacy of the mistake is clear enough? When I read the section, I interpreted it as examples of linguistically correct plurals that should be avoided in Wikipedic use. DogWithHerpes (talk) 22:20, 14 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Actually in Latin the plural of excursus is excursus. You were apparently thinking of the nominative plural for Latin first-declension nouns, but excursus, like cursus, is fourth declension. Peter Gulutzan (talk) 22:33, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Ah, ok, did not realise that. Thank you. DogWithHerpes (talk) 22:36, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Ah, neither did I. So I was right to revert, but for the wrong reason . 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 23:06, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Ah, I just love it when several people peacefully agree on the Internet. Shame it doesn't always happen! DogWithHerpes (talk) 23:12, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I erred too, though it doesn't affect anything. The "-i" ending would be typical for Latin second-declension nouns. Peter Gulutzan (talk) 15:07, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
