Atlas is of course a figure from greek mythology, superbeing supporting earth on his back. If u presume there could be a plural it would be Atlantes in greek. Also could be construed as the residents of Atlantis...

I'm still confused as to what Ymirs daughter has to do with this

(just google it)

[Lethal Sting]

I prefer to think that it is the same way as deer or moose. One deer, one moose. Many deer, many moose.

One atlas. Many atlas.

This is how I view the people who say it each way:






Also, I voted for both, does that mean I win?

[Vulpesveritas]

Where's the Jenner option again?

[Anchelias]

The plural for Atlas in the english language could be something interesting.... But what about Loki? I guess Lokii? lol (Deer is an english word with plural deer in the english language. Not the same for Atlas. Atlases would be enlish plural for Atlas of course, which has another meaning in modern greek today... it means map lol. Confused yet? ... now how about that guy Ymir's daughter...I wonder...)

I've figured it out. The plural of Atlas is Atlas, it all depends on context (hooray english for being a stupid language)

Singular example: "The Atlas on the hill fired it's AC/20"

Plural example: "The enemy Atlas are advancing!"

In past tense, the correct term is 'Steiner' as in "Steiner used a Steiner to navigate his Steiner through the Steiners'

According to the Dictionary it is pronounced at·las·es

[Atlai]

Don't go changing the poll on a whim Skadi!!!
I remember the poll had TWO choices, Atlai and Atlases... you changed the second one when you saw that your view was losing!
Personally, I removed my vote on account of this.

[Atlai]

No it was always Atlai, you were just seeing things.
