Bonii is not a word...

While your latin kung fu is good, you must remember that "bonus" is an adjective, not a noun. Two thwacks with the ruler.

In both Latin and English, adjectives used substantively function as nouns:

"The meek shall inherit the earth." "Only the good (bonus) die young."

It's much more common in Latin than in English.

I was replying to the guy who declined the Latin adjective as though it were a noun. O, the horrors of flat vs. threaded.

I'm pretty sure it's for protecting the sentence when it reenters the atmosphere.
