Error: Adding an English s to a Latin Singular

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Adding an English s to a Latin or Greek singular produces a form that is wrong in charts and returns nothing in a database search.

Show

Bronchuses, vertebras, and diagnosises are not terms.

Watch for

When the plural is uncertain, the singular is always safe. Rewrite around it.
