    Every single plural you list is derived straight from latin. If you created a neologism for a previously non-existent concept you would pluralize it with “s” in English eg email becomes emails not emali. The “i” as a plural is only for words taken straight from Latin.

    I watched it. I don’t place any value on youtube videos made by people speaking outside their expertise.

      Sure, but we use it. We adopted those words without altering that form. You said we don’t use it in English, full stop, so I gave 13 counterexamples.

      I don’t think my eyes can roll any harder.
