We never had to read this for school (Brave New World, how I loathe thee...), so I don't understand the plural a/um thing, and my head is @_@ing trying to make it make sense...

DA who hasn't read Catch-22 in years, so I can't remember how it comes up in the book, but I would assume that it has to do with the way plurals are formed in Latin. Words with the nominative singular ending in -um are neuter second declension nouns, for which the correct ending of the nominative plural is -a.

Oooooh, okay that's why it wasn't connecting for me. I was trying to think of English words that ended in -um and then pluralizing them, and yeah... XD

Thank you kind anon. :)

I'm also baffled about how it relates to the book, but it's years since I read it. Is it maybe in the way they censor the letters? Anyhow I do get the Latin reference.
