now can someone tell me the plurals of

gymnasia
referenda
opera
data
bacteria
octopussies (or octopodes - your choice)
vortices
apices
dice
indices (yea yea find it in the index)

and before I can be arsed to look it up - does (do?) cafeteria follow the same syntax (or should that be syntaces?)

Language is what we use to convey meaning it is either a fluid or a dead like latin (or should that be Latin?). It annoys the hell out of me but I live in the real world and have to get a few things first - like a life.
