sigmalephTIL:
1) some people use the word "boni" instead of "bonuses"
2) they're wrong to do so, aesthetically, because "boni" is a very ugly word. i guess on some level i've known this for as long as my aesthetic considerations have had their current form, and so i didn't learn it today, but i did notice it today
3) they're separately wrong by the rules of the game where you import Latin plurals into English, because "bonus" is not a Latin noun, it's an adjective.
(there is, also, a Latin noun "bonus". but the English word derives from the adjective)

Cons or knowing a romance language: wait people say that. On purpose? Thinking it makes them sound smart?
