Incorrect usage of "media" for medium is very common in English 'as
she is spoke'.

But the incorrection only applies to the English language, and not
necessarily to programming languages.  For exanple in a language that
supports lists, you can have a list variable called "media" which at
any point in time might contain 0, 1, 2 or more members and be
perfectly correct in all cases.

So, yes, I think you should add --medium, just for those who are picky
about their use of language.  Strictly, you should remove mediums
because there is no such word in English and one should not encourage
misusages.

In the case of naming of an argument that supports lists, medium,
mediums, media (and medias? - yes, I have heard it!) would all be
synonyms.

Does French have a similar problem?
