Guest  [More info] Seems like a simple question yet it has me stumped at the moment. I'd guess stati but I don't know if that's common enough usage for people to understand. Guest

	+1 anon1  [More info] Guest, I can't even think of a sentence where the plural form of status would be required. Nevertheless, according to Merriam Webster dictionary the plural form is statuses. You can find Merriam-Webster Dictionary here: http://www.m-w.com/. I hope that helps. MountainHiker anon1 Joined on Fri, Jul 2 2004 Senior Member 2,049

	+1 Anonymous  [More info] Thank you very much. I am a technical writer for a software company and require this for a knowledgebase article that defines each of the statuses available for an item in the software. In case it ever comes up again, while I was awaiting your response I found it in the Gregg Reference Manual, Tenth Edition. Thanks for your quick response! Regards. Anonymous

	+1 Mister Micawber  [More info] So I have changed the status of this thread from 'No Status' to 'Resolved'-- that's two statuses right here. Mister Micawber Joined on Wed, Aug 4 2004 Yokohama Veteran Member 36,916 'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master-- that's all.'

	+1 rishonly  [More info] 'Statuses' is the plural form of 'Status', and, in fact, my dictionary doesn't have the word 'stati' at all. Is it--stati-- a valid word? rishonly Joined on Sat, Mar 5 2005 KUMBAKONAM,INDIA Contributing Member 1,772 Regards, Krishna

	+1 paco2004  [More info] There is no word like "stati" in English. "Status" is originally a Latin noun and in Latin it declines as a u-stem noun. So in Latin, the plural form of "status" is also "status".  Another word of this sort is "virus". The plural of "virus" in Latin is "virus". But now English people pluralize them as "statuses" and "viruses". In contrast with them, the Latin noun "alumnus" declines as an o-stem noun, and the plural form is "alumni", which is also true in English. paco paco2004 Joined on Wed, Nov 17 2004 Senior Member 4,095 In Japan today even dogs are learning how to bow-wow in English.
