First, this is not a correction or put-down of any kind. It's more a reminder to myself that this is a predominantly English speaking community: Speak accordingly.

Now, it may be because I'm not a native English speaker, but so many names beginning with C seems more natural to pronounce with a hard C, K sound. Cerberus, for example: Greek. Kerberos. I don't know the linguistics behind Cynabal, but that pops up as Künabal in my head. "Cyno", on the other hand, seems "English": Saino.

And yeah, Gila to me has a hard G. I'm not Spanish either. P

Exactly. it's “cerberus” — the Latin name — not Kerberos. Hence the s-sound. P

Now, granted, there's always the discussion of church Latin vs. classic Latin, and the correct pronunciation of -ae endings, but still.

What is the plural of the Augororororr?

Nemesii? Nemesisis? Nemesises? Nemminomnoms?

Is it a group of Stabber fleet issues? Is that a fleet of ships.. or a concentrated outbreak of fleet problems?

Naval issue, or navel issues?

Why don't we have a Fed Navy Thorax when the Amarr got the Omen Navy issue?

Why cant people believe that its not butter?



It is a Murder of Stabbers, same with the Crows.

Rule #1 of classical plurals: if you think it will end in -ii, it won't.

Also, its navitates (or at best navitas, if its already the plural form of [doing something with] the sailors).


Thank GOD someone took this thread seriously.

there is no plural. if you field more than one it becomes an execuror

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

Navitases?

CODE is just a bunch of pirates; smart, organized pirates. It doesn't help to rage at them because that is exactly what they want. Dust yourself off and get back on your feet, you don't even have to talk to them.

Yeah that was my first reaction, but after looking it up you have
navita -> navitae or navitas -> navitates.
