Twitterix - Plural Of "pandora"?

[cuetzpalin]

Don't the plural of Greek words is ending with "i"?
IE : sillabus -> sillabi

Syllabus is not greek, it's Latin. And, yes, SOME latin words pluralize with "i": like syllabus, campus, alumnus, but as you can see, all those end with "us". On the other hand Philosophia and vita, ending with "a", pluralize as Philosophiae and vitae. Thus the confusion of the people who suggested "Pandorae". Latin and Greek are both inflected languages with 5 and 3 different declensions respectively; so plurals vary.

Again, Pandora is not latin, dudes. And although I don't feel it HAS to be pluralized according to classic greek rules (Pandoras is perfect, for me)... if you want to go "classic style" Pandori is a blatant mistake.

I like Pandora[]. std::vector<Pandora> would also be acceptable in my book.

I sure can't wait to get my Pandorum...

What about a Tokenized string of Pandora[]?

You're right.
To defend myself, I never studied Latin neither ancient Greek at school. Learned how to mess with MS-DOS and BASIC instead

Maybe "Pandora" is already plural. In which case, wouldn't the singular be "Pandoro"?
