	***The Sathanas debate is about pluralizing a non-English word. This one is about a fixed rule of pluralizing an English word (which of course originates from Spanish, but it has long entered the English language). By the way, saying ''Tornado missiles'' is a compromise. - [[User:TopAce\|TopAce]] 22:58, 5 June 2009 (UTC)		***The Sathanas debate is about pluralizing a non-English word.

	Grammar evolves; how old is your book? But, yes, actually it does matter how something sounds spoken aloud. If you want your spoken language to sound stilted or stylized that's your problem, but don't come complaining to me when other people come along and decide it sounds just like what I said. - ngtm1r		Grammar evolves; how old is your book?
