The Trouble with Demons contains the first five books in the Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom series by Julie Kenner:
“[S]hows you what would happen if Buffy got married and kept her past a secret. It’s a hoot.”—Charlaine Harris, New York Times bestselling author The author, Julie Kenner, has some other non-self-pubbed series under the name J. Kenner, and is (according to her website) a RITA award nominee and winner for some of her other books. The Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom series is a long way from my typical addiction to murder mysteries, but a friend recommended the first one, and then I bought the second one, and now I'm going to buy the omnibus, which contains the first five books, and enjoy the next three sometime when I need a laugh. This omnibus is $4.99 and couponable at Kobo US, at least: http://store.kobobooks.com/en-US/ebo...-with-demons-4 Spoiler:

"Omnibi"? Where does that come from? It sure ain't Latin!

To explain: Bob was making a parallel with the word "octopus", which many people mistakenly think is a Latin word and form the false plural "octopi" (hence his "about 8 people" comment). Octopus is actually Greek, not Latin, and if you prefer to use a Greek plural, rather than the much more straightforward English "octopuses", that plural would be "octopodes" - pronounced "oc-TOP-ud-eez". Although this may be grammatically correct, it has the significant disadvantage that almost nobody would have a clue what you mean, hence it's better to stick to "octopuses" - and, yes, "omnibuses" .
Although "omnibus" is indeed Latin, its plural is not "omnibi" because the Latin word "omnibus" is an adverb (meaning "for all"), not a noun, and adverbs don't have plurals. |

Very simply, in English there are a plethora of ways to pluralise a word. And we really don't care where the word came from. To care where a word came from is a racist and potentially sexist act. And we're trying not to commit such heinous acts anymore. |
