Hello not sure this project is active .

I have noted on a few anatomy articles that plural forms like recti abdominis muscles are used (e.g. linea alba (abdomen)). I have no doubt that this is grammatically correct in Latin, however perhaps it would be better to say "Rectus abdominis muscles". This is in order to use the more widely recognized term.

This may be a case of hypercorrection. What I mean is, if we are speaking English and not Latin, then we can use the plural form of "muscles" to show that we are talking about both the left rectus abdominis muscle and the right one. There is no real need to additionally use the latin plural form "recti abdominis". I note that the term "Recti abdominis muscles" does not appear once in Gray's Anatomy. The term "recti abdominis" appears only once in the whole book, and then it appears without the word "muscle/muscles". That may be significant. I also note that the article previously said "Rectus abdominis muscles" and it was changed to "recti abdominis muscles" here [1]

Anyway, just a thought. Moribundum (talk) 10:20, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Further note, the editor who changed that term may not be a native speaker of English. Their native language may have more extensive agreement according to grammatical number [2] between noun and any modifiers, hence the hypercorrection (or maybe I'm wrong).

For example in English we almost never change the adjective if the noun is plural:

• Tall man (correct)
• Tall men (correct)
• Talls men (error)
• Rectus abdominis muscle (correct)
• Rectus abdominis muscles (correct)
• Recti abdominis muscles (error)

Hope that makes sense. Moribundum (talk) 10:34, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
