My family went to view the showflat of some condominium. We just came back.
The reason we went to look at this condominium: Our present house is in a state of rapid degeneration. The roof is leaking - in at least ten different places. The tiles on the floor in the dining room are leaking too. ...I don't know how that is possible, but it is. The bath in my parents' room was leaking into the living room too, but that problem was fixed by fixing a shower there instead.
What do I think of this condominium? Nice, sure. The design is lovely, especially the balconies. But the price they're asking for is just insane, particularly since it's only ours for 99 years. I mean, my parents bought the present house for at least 100k less. ...But then that was over ten years ago.
Anyway. Something's bugging me - what is the plural of the word condominium? I saw a sign earlier today that read 'condominiums', and this started me thinking. I mean, condominiums? That sounds just wrong. I'd never given any thought to this issue before, what the plural of condominium was, since I'd never exactly had the chance to use the plural of the word condominium. But well, it seems to me... condominium is Latin, isn't it? So wouldn't that indicate that the plural of condominium is condominia, or something similar?
Hm. In that case, what is the plural of auditorium? Once more I've never had to think about the plural of this either. So I guess it should be auditoria too, then?
Or perhaps I'm getting it all wrong and it should be condominiums and auditoriums.
But, no. That still sounds odd to me.
...Pardon me. I have an overly-curious nature. And my compulsive nature results in my inability to desist until I find an answer.
Oh. I found this site. Incredibly hilarious. My favourite ones: Searching for Nancy, They Have Spam in Japan Too, Authentic PA Flavor (has to be my favourite - it is /so/ PA xD), Today's Forecast is..., Grammatically Conscientious, No More Pocky, Gabe's Value system, Celebrity Hour (my second favourite - I mean, Tom Cloose!), I - Am - a - Pen!.
Oh. And because I'm bored...
