the plural of Lotus? We had 2 at our show yesterday and couldn't figure it out. I voted for Louti

Chuck, I've always referred to the plural as "Loti."
It seems to be the most common one I've heard used.
Now, if I was only lucky enough to be able to own a couple!

I think that you should refer to them as a 'gaggle' of Lotus, or a pride of Lotus, something similar to the animal kingdom. Just my .02
 
I’ve always been told that the plural is Loti.

They never mentioned what a group would be called. Perhaps since a Lotus is a flower a group might a bouquet of Loti or, less formally, a bunch of Loti.

how about a lot of lotuses?

I would say lotuses also...

1 Lotus, 2 Lotus, 10 Lotus...its all Lotus's to me!

Wonder if Colin Chapman was a lotus-eater & hence lived in drugged indolence pondering the plural status of his creation?

Is it "Hillmen"?<hr></blockquote>

If the whiney, bleeding-hearts crowd gets a hold of it, it will be Hillpersons.

So, then, is it politically correct to continue calling those size-challenged cars "Mini's"?

I actually had someone comment to me one time that the name of my car (a Midget, at the time) was "in bad taste". Seriously.
 
PC - there are a few 'weeds' growing around here!

Aero... - pretty soon it'll be impossible to communicate with one another because of political correctness!
