    Harold:
            Well, it depends what language you are using. In Spanish, the
    plural of 'corpus' would be 'corpus', especially if you're not trying to
    be snotty or hypercorrect. Even in English, except here on the list, I
    might very well use 'corpuses'. Maybe someone can check the BNC and see
    what they come up with.
