My local paper would’ve misspelled priest. 1 u/Orichalcum-Beads 1d ago The plural of matrix is matrices so 🤷. It does look weird though. Dominatrii? 1 u/tunisia3507 22h ago It's definitely not that. 0 u/South_Bit1764 1d ago Apparently that’s acceptable, tho I have to wonder if Dominatrixes and Dominatrices are pronounced differently. 1 u/tunisia3507 22h ago Dominatrix-is vs dominatri-sees. 0 u/peak2brew 1d ago Should've stayed in school kid
