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

No, Mason... I checked for that back then. I know Skadi well enough to check for that.

Atlas

Atlas'

Atlases


Atlai makes me want to strangle an urbie, you are bad for thinking that is a proper plural, and you should feel bad.


*Edit*

Googled "Atlai", This thread is in the first 5 results.... NO, NO YOU ARE WRONG, GO AWAY.

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

<snipped pics for brevity>

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

What about those of us who say it both of the first two ways and still laugh at the third way? And no, it means you need to die under the foot of an Atlas, you double-dealing snot! :-P

Why are you people already making bad memes out of a good game? Seriously, I just want to play the game without everyone spamming the forums and signatures with a bad meme and not giving the devs the feedback from playtesting and giving valid suggestions they need instead.

I honestly just don't want this community to become the same as World of Tanks.

Hey my buddy Skadi, look at the Steiner pic on yours and my Steiner Affiliation badges. Kind of looks like an atlas fist don't it? And you call yourself a Steiner Mechwarrior. Atlas Rules and tis the grandfather of the modern battlefield! Death to all Atlai, so sayeth the Death Head!!!

LMAO

There is still a big difference between that and this community, we are all just having a bit of fun.

yes i realize that not everyone is aware what fun is.

[iron610]

Obviously Atlen right?

[Brenden]

Atlasi, now shut up.

[Mad Mortigan]

The plural of Atlas is 'mountain range'

[SakuranoSenshi]

Alright, serious topic drift but... for genuinely 'non-standard' plurals (in English) try these (which are actually older germanic plurals):

The poster child is... children. It was childer then childe for the singular but the plural remains child(e)ren.

Kine remains as a somewhat archaic and poetic word for cattle but is actually the old plural of cow (yes, really).

Vixen today is used to mean a female fox but it's actually an old plural, today we use foxes.

Men, from man and women from woman; again these are so common people often don't even think about it, just as with children.

Goose to geese, mouse to mice, foot to feet; these are all remnant of yet another way to pluralize, by changing the vowel in the stem.

Finally, some modern techie comedy plurals - Vax to Vaxen (a now ancient type of computer architecture) and box to boxen (as in box, meaning a PC or terminal). :-)

I will repost this because i think you kids are not reading this.

THERE IS A PLURAL FORM OF ATLAS!

At·las   [at-luhs] Show IPA
noun, plural At·las·es for 2, 4. <----
1.
Classical Mythology . a Titan, son of Iapetus and brother of Prometheus and Epimetheus, condemned to support the sky on his shoulders: identified by the ancients with the Atlas Mountains.

This is per the DICTIONARY. -----> http://dictionary.re...om/browse/atlas


If you continue this debate from this point on you are obviously trolling, flaming, flooding and scrolling.

So to be clear once more. It is not ATLAS' or ATLAI

The correct plural form is ATLASES.

THE dictionary, you say? LOL

You realize there are as many dictionaries (of English) are there are people/organizations that can be bothered to make one? They're not an authority, they're a compilation of usage. Anyway, we already know the correct plurals (Atlases & Atlantes) this is a comedy thread. :-)
