... so people, please stop using it in an attempt to sound sophisticated. An old-fashioned dictionary can be very useful sometimes.

I cleared several huge bonii this weekend and didn't even make it to the poker table.

Thank you for posting this thread.

I've had the urge to post exactly the same thing every time I see that so-called word on here. One of them is a bonus not a bonius!

You'd think all the genii here would know. 'Course appears a few of them do know but don't care.

Let's review our masculine -us latin declension

Case Sing/Plural
Nominative: Bonus/Boni
Gentive: Boni/Bonorum
Dative: Bono/Bonis
Accusative: Bonum/Bonos
Ablative: Bono/Bonis

Some sample sentences:

Nominative (subject) Singular: This bonus takes forever to clear because I'm afraid to play above .5/$1
Nominative plural: These boni are all that keep me from going bankrupt.

Genitive (possessive) doesn't really translate well in English as it requires the preposition "of" or an apostrophe and it's hard to come up with a sensical sentence where a bonus is possessing something, so I'm skipping it.

Dative (indirect object) singular: Party poker gave (to the) bono some complicated stipulations.

Accusative (direct object) plural: Bodog wanted to give Bono (U2) many bonos, but he decided to play pro bono.

Ablative: no one really knows what the ablative case is for, so we'll skip it.

So, techincally, there is no bonii form, but remember, this is fun and not one of the few scenarii where getting it right would matter.
