What Are These?

Monday, February 14, 2011

I'm such a classics geek

I found this funny from In Rebus' Latin Quotes, Sayings, Tattoos, Phrases & Mottos
Toyota has people voting on the plural form of Prius.

The options include prius, priuses, prii, prium and prien. Sic!, Sic! and Sic!

Oddly, the actual correct Latin masc. and fem. plural for prius - priores is not even in the running!

Shouldn't corporate hijacking of Latin grammar cause some sort of public outrage?
I so agree.
