No such thing as genius? How about Philip Pauli?

When English adopts a word from another language, it’s acceptable to form the plural either according to the rules of the original language or those of English. I am aware that “geniuses” is a perfectly valid plural form, but I happen to prefer to use the Latin form.

NOT necessarily. The usual usage in English is different. “Genii” refers to spirits, “geniuses” refers to people.

I was always taught that genius starts at 140. My IQ is supposedly 137. Its been so long since I have been in school or worked in an office I’m not sure of things like I once was.

Since you’re a “near” genius, you might have read something about NOT reopening very OLD threads on the Board. These are called zombies, and we prefer you start a new thread and link to the old one, unless you have new information that answers the original post.
