Zac,

It's all good, buddy! That's a tough English translation.

It's like "cactus" for English. The plural of cactus is "cactii." Even us English-speaking natives have some weird shit we do! ;)

Hey Franco I am pretty sure it is "cacti", the double i only occurs in "radius" because in both cases "us" changes to "i".

But since I am writing here I have to share a funny story. My buddy and I in college dorm thought it was hilarious that some words have a latin plural and we started to apply it to any word -- for example "prospectus" -> "prospecti" and so on. Even though the actual English plural is "prospectuses" I believe. So we dared each other to go to the local high school and say we were investigating schools for our nephew or something, and ask for two prospecti. We accomplished the mission ;)

Ray,

I went to go look it up, and it turns out both "cacti" and "cactii" are used -- go figure. The English language seems rather lenient these days! In a world where "selfie" is now a word, I'm actually not too surprised.

So we dared each other to go to the local high school and say we were investigating schools for our nephew or something, and ask for two prospecti. We accomplished the mission ;)

Ha! I really hope it wasn't an English teacher who agreed to look for your "prospecti." ;)
