Do you seriously not understand the image
Some pseud in history just decided that "heros" needed an 'e'. Like for what? Just to look like other anglicized words. Literally stealing the Greek word and changing it for no reason. "heros" was perfectly fine as a plural.

Which is why the s was taken off the singular heros to make hero and an s added to the plural heroe to make heroes - because s in English signifies a plural. OP's image is fucking retarded.

OP here, I think you guys dont understand the point of the thread. "S" is a letter perfectly sufficient to make a word plural in the english language. We dont need to add "e"s to the greek plural word that was also perfectly sufficient.

Plural literally is "heroes" in Greek, it's obviously just pronounced differently.

No, they are heroic. Heroes is not an adjective, or even a word.

Do you count each and every particle of gas? No. Therefore the plural is gas.
