I see....

I do not think that I am that bored yet. Carmina Burana always helps

You know, violent video games with explosions should help.

Look up the music. Or just go to the music thread.

As to your other point, yes.

I am bored but should not be bored because I should have nonboring stuff to do that would resolve my boredom, however I am too bored to do that nonboring stuff so I will continue typing this boring post and being bored. And ranting about boring stuff. Like cactuses. But wait! They are not cactuses, you imbecile, they are cacti. This is due to grammatical rule that we have inherited from Latin in English. This rule states that a noun ends in -us, when making it plural one replaces the -us with -i. This is why cactus becomes cacti. This is also highly relevant to Total War as well. Remeber Rome: Total War? If you do, you will remeber the three playable Roman factions' names were the Julii, Brutii, and Scipii. This is horribly innaccurate. Julii is correct, but only they. Julius is the singular form of this noun. When making it plural, it therefore becomes Julii. However, the plural form of Brutus is not Brutii. Brutus should become Bruti. After all, replacing the -us with -i does not insert another i into the word! Now examine the case of the Scipii Faction. The plural of Scipio is not Scipii. After all, just look at the word Scipio. Does it end in -us? No! The correct suffix to make it plural is -nes, which is the suffix in Latin to make -io words plural. Epic fail, CA. Epic Fail. BORING BORING BORING BORING BORING BORING.

Not true. In the second declension it works that way but in the fourth declension a word ending in -us will end with -us in the plural. Thus gradus (step) in the singular is gradus (steps) in the plural.

Also this thread is spam.
