I went by a local government’s garage today, and saw that they had a Toyota Prius hybrid car. I tried to say that I liked the fact that the government was buying – Priuses? Prii? Priui?
Where did you find it? I was looking through their press releases and could only find singular references (all pluralization was to “units” or “vehicles”).
I know that for Lexus, their official policy is to never pluralize the name.
Priuses. Prius is a Latin word, but it’s not a noun, so you wouldn’t normally pluralize it, and you don’t have to ame the effort to sound educated and pluralize it in Latin.
While Toyota may use Priuses on their website, if you visit Prius owners sites/forums (fora!) you’ll see Prii used quite a bit. I’m not saying it’s “official” but it’s fairly common.
Well, but common doesn’t mean correct. I spell my own name correctly, but many other people spell it wrong. Many people write “penii,” which is also incorrect.
