Argh! The plural of stylus is styli! It is a Latin word. Though Russian
(presumably other slavic languages as well) also uses "i" for plurals - so this
form of the plural is not completely archaic.
What's the point about being able to claim snobbism "<i>I</i> use a
<b>Stylus!</B> - and then flubbing the grammar?
P.s.: look into medieval palimpsests. Apparently the then equivalent of a PDA
(remember, paper was rare then!)
