Names pt. one.

 If a name ends with -“us” then its plural ends in “odes”.  An example would be “Jesus” becoming “Jesodes”.

Towards and toward

     Contrary to what this article says , there is a correct way to use "toward" and "towards", and that is never using one twice in a row.  You have to alternate them each time you use one.  If you just said "toward", you can't say "toward" again until you say "towards" and vice versa.  If you don't do that, you seem to have such a small vocabulary that you can't give variety in your speech.

About "-us" and "-um" as far as plurals are concerned

      I have stumbled upon a post by lexico saying that "cacti" is wrong, and so is "viri".  They are wrong.  Their logic is that since these words aren't latin in origin, we can't pluralise them with -i.  Pay no attention to these ignorami.  It is only correct to pluralise multisylabic words ending in "-us" and not in "-ous" with "-i" or "-odes".  ie.

The plurals of "moose" "house" and "mongoose"

"Mongeese", "hice", and "meese" are acceptable plurals, as well as "mongooses", "houses", and "mooses".  All of these are correct, and there can be more than one plural for each word, all of which may be used interchangably, however, as will be per usual, irregulars are preferable, especially "mongeese". In the interest of regularity, the extention of the "geese" and "mouse" paradigm should be extended to include "mongoose", "house", and "moose".  And I have, as a person on the internet, made it right by putting it in a style guide that you can cite.
