Maybe it's Onoses, although that sounds a bit stupid. The second answer is Oni then.  </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'>

Nope, lerk bite poll is still bigger, and I was wrong before. The scoreboard poll is also bigger then this one.

Elestia · January 2004

396 vs 397

MrMojo · January 2004

397 to 397. I'm guessing it will go to 400 vs 400 and stay there.

nightdragon · January 2004

Oni must be thar winnehhh!!! GO ONI!

Nurot · January 2004

I have to go with oni because Im the kinda guy that if I saw more than onos I would know that either they are screwed or we have enough defenses so we are set so that point in the game oni seems almost comical either way so I would shout something like "I SEE ONI!" Over the say to all.

Gwahir · January 2004

oni pulls ahead by one, not long till it's neck and neck again I'm betting.

This will never end!
or it will and be inconclusive.

Nikon · January 2004

dead even, I think this thread should stay 50/50. and let people call it whatever they want, cause with this kinda split, i doubt many people will actually call it anything different than they believe

Roobubba · January 2004

Majin · January 2004

IdenTheBox · January 2004

I've never been wrong, the plural of Onos is "Oh s***"

And I see no option for "Look out for the OH S***!" listed.

CharybdIs · January 2004

i would say onos! for example: look our, 3 onos coming our way! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif'>

Wheeee · January 2004

Just call them cows like the CoFR peeps do. much easier, and everyone understands.

project_demon · January 2004

in general, it is not suppose to be onos because the unit's name is onos(1 onos unit) so i'll go with oni, how ever onos looks more good for more then 1 onos because of the "s" at the end.

lyndak · January 2004

Well, I'm glad nobody's said "ono's" yet *shudders*- although the last post came close in logic...

relsan · January 2004

I have a theory...

I think this poll is just a twisted experiment conjured up by the higher ups.

First they keep the poll close...

Then they give "Onos" a slight edge, and sees how the crowd reacts.

Then they give "Oni" a slight edge, and sees how the crowd reacts.

Next thing they'll keep it deadlocked for a couple days to drive us insane!

HAX I tell you! DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!

DralTheImpaler · January 2004

i still call one onos an onii

"one onii incoming"

maybe i'm just odd <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Zifnab · January 2004

I've taken some classes in Latin, and I can tell you that it's NOT "oni". The plural "i" only replaces the "us" of second-declension nouns. It's "onos", not "onus". I've seen some people suggest "onii" with two "i"s... that's even more wrong. The double "i" can only come from having a word end in "ius", in which the "us" is replaced and you get "ii".

The fact is, the word "onos" doesn't follow any Latin forms (note: it follows the second declension plural accusative, but when words are taken from Latin into English, the nominative form is always used) so you shouldn't go sticking Latin pluralizations on there.

The plural is ONOS. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

ZiGGY · January 2004

wow thats a rather minute difference

DralTheImpaler · January 2004

welcome to english not latin <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

in english words are what people decided to call them and you have to create and manipulate loopholes in grammar rules to accustom the word

If You Saw More Then One Onos...
