    It was ruined for me when I was getting my masters in genetics and learned that “mitochondria” is plural, and the singular is “mitochondrion.” So, it’s either “the mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell” or “the mitochondrion is the powerhouse of the cell,” and neither feel right.

      I refer to one piece of broccoli as a broccolus broccolo.

        Except its Italian, not Latin, so the singular is broccolo . If you want to use the Latin word,.it’s broccus

          I feel like Broccus would be a badass name for a dog.

      I constantly struggle with what’s proper and what sounds right when using Latin plural in English.

      I feel like the leading “the” is what’s messing that up.

      “Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell” sounds fine to me.

        A grammatical error in a translation from a foreign galactic basic to English is what ruined the force for you? Lol. If we can believe in defying gravity, I think we can believe “The iceburgs is the ship’s fear.”

                Weakness would have made more sense then fear, but that ship already sailed. If it’s going to Titanic I’m going to pretend I can’t change course now
