Re: Off topic: Latin plurals



Back in the late 1950s (not 1950's, because the shortened form
would then be '50's, which is silly), the professors in the
Stanford Radioscience Lab -- just for the fun of it, of course --
not only spoke of "those data" but also used the fake-Latin
plurals "Xeroces" and "Kleenices."
