Preference given to the Latin "pluralitas non est ponenda sine necessitate" when referring to Ockham's Razor as stated by William of Ockham.

Considering the originator's name was William of Ockham, I went with that spelling though Occam is the more commonly used. You can find both around the Internet. Ahhh.... this takes me back to my university philosophy classes where William Shakespeare had it right when he wrote: full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Culturally insensitive potatoes should be chipped. Or worse, sent for sensitivity training.
