>MFW I read the first as mononomial automatically and I don't use either of those terms in my daily life.

People actually say monomial? That just seems like lazyness.
Kind of like aluminum. Get ahold of yourself, guize.

Same thing with binoculars. Monocular is the correct way of saying it, but mononocular would be most logical.

Mon = mono.
They are variations on the same root, which english uses all the time. It would mononomial means the same thing as monomial, becuase they both contain the same root: mon/mono. The extra syllable is useless. This pattern occurs quite often in english.

the "n" is part of "nomial", so the prefix is "mo-".
