That was a very boring quiz. It was just a few plural endings repeated. Ox and louse were good, so a few more animals mouse, goose, and octopus. Then how about cactus, fungus, rhododendron, iris, and delphinium. And die (as in spotted cubes with dots 1-6), person, radius, status and coat-of-arms.

octopuses (or octopodes if you must); Latin plural of status is statûs with a long U, but English plural (if you really need one) is statuses. Rhododendron is regular in English. Irides is an alternative to irises (for the iris of the eye).

You don't need to have studied Latin to be familiar with the common plural endings. But yeah, most of these were pretty regular, I was actually surprised by how few unusual endings there were. Oxen, perhaps, cos not that many words use the German construction in English, but even then it's following a known rule.

"The handbook of nonsexist writing" suggests that, instead of "alumnae and alumni", we could write "alums" 🙂

For some of these, I think it might be less likely for some people to know the singular form. e.g. Data, bacteria, and criteria are in more common use than datum, bacterium, and criterion

Seriously? It's sad and somewhat frightening to think that people found this difficult. Says a great deal about our educational system.
