If it wasn't for the last pair I'd say their plurals are combinations of the exact same letters ...

according to the Harraps both plurals are correct. I guess "medium" as in a certain support for communication would take "media" and "medium" as a person with "special psychic capabilities" would take mediums ...Originally Posted by davis_greatest View Postas long as we don't say that the plural of medium is media

I think Monique got the correct answer, Stella making the final link with Scrota and Actors.Originally Posted by The Statman View Post
As far as medium is concerned, I would have thought that 'media' is the plural of platform for information, whereas mediums would be used in most other senses.

Round 58
Ivan and Ronnie are typing a list of the surnames of players who have competed in the World Snooker Championship at the Crucible.
However, they only have one English keyboard to share. Ivan is using the top row of letters (QWERTYUIOP) and Ronnie the other two rows. Only one person is allowed to type each surname.
Find how many names they can type. The winner will be whoever puts in a single post the most valid names (with no invalid names) before midnight UK time tonight (or the first person to list them all, if sooner)."If anybody can knock these three balls in, this man can."

Their friend Rodney demanded that it be that way. He was also particular that if one of them had access to N, S and H, he should not be able to use the O key.Originally Posted by The Statman View Post"If anybody can knock these three balls in, this man can."
