    Of course everyone knows that Lexus is a fourth declension Latin noun, meaning that both the nominative singular and plural endings are "us."

    Therefore, if you see more than one driving down the road you would say look at those Lexus. Ironically, a convention of Lexus owners is called a lexicon (which could be used to look up any of this information).

    P.S. if you believe any of this, I have some land to sell you. Cheap!

      OK, so where is the land, and how much?

      If you believe any of this, the plural of Lexus means:
      $1000 per month car payments
      An available 2 car garage.

      Oh, I almost forgot, I have a friend that has a case of pluralcy.

        If you are married, like having money, and having an intimate life, then it better be your wife. Otherwise, I was thinking the Turkey thread, would be renamed, "how do you cook your goose?"


        For those of us single. Generally your local law establishing bodies and the IRS. In this case, generally, you are at least somewhat insulated from the lawgiving body! (no flying frying pans)
