OK, so what about rpm vs. rpms, when used as an adjective?  RPMs sounds fine 
when the word is used as a noun, but when it describes a type of media, RPM 
sounds better to my ear.  I can't really say why, tho, as I'm not a linguist 
"nor do I play one on TV."  <g>

Actually, alto "mediums" sounds strange except when discussing practitioners 
of the supernatural arts, and "medias" just reminds me of the legendary "King 
Midas" <g> (and a friend named "Mida", who I always ask how her muffler shop 
is doing <g>), the "rpms" thing above bothers me more than any media/medium 
thing.

Anyone else?  Adam?  Huug?  Maybe it's just me?
