<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2806155, member: 19463"]Gavin beat me to it. If you want to get ridiculous about it the plural would need to be formed on Cornu making it Horns of Plenty and the plural of a fourth declension neuter noun would be Cornua but I do not recall seeing cornuacopiae. The era of arguing over points of grammar has been dying a slow death along with people of my generation who were proud to be called pedantic. Trying to make sense out of English, Latin, pronunciation and many other things that were once so very important is falling aside in popularity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
