Artemis v Banshee

As a person that dipped a toe into Greek (I got distracted in Spanish class and spent a week learning Greek stuff), that's a little weird. There's like eight noun endings, four of them for plural. Well, come to think of it, Latin has more than eight noun endings per word...
Let's just go with irregular English exceptions of Plurals ending in "-i" and call it Artemi.
Or even better, if a CA or somebody can start a forum vote thread on what the plural for Artemis is, that'd be great.
Arturo Sanchez:
would a forum vote truly resolve it though?
The voting base doesn't have the same level of knowledge for languages.
So wouldn't this really just be resolved over preference than correctness?
Indreams:
Eh,... it'd be an attempt.
And it will bring to light a question that needs to be addressed before the community goes further.
Anyways, Artemis has a bigger arc than Banshee (65 to 60), but its slower to turn. Do you guys think the slower turn speed on Artemis is a big enough difference to how these two guns work?
When I play gunner or gungineer, I prefer the Banshee because its smoother to move.

well the art is a part sniper. you need that slower turn speed for very minute and precise aiming.
plus the banshee flies all over the place.
JaegerDelta:
You guys are having trouble with a plural because you are using a slang form of the name.
The weapon's name is the Artemis Light Rocket Launcher, therefore, the plural is Artemis Light Rocket Launchers.
But if you really want a plural for the short version you would pluralize it in the same way you do any name, because you are calling it by a nickname.
so because it ends in s, Artemises is probably the most acceptable.
