First of all
Barbara,
I should have said that if you do use the RINs it would be best to uncheck
Reuse Abandoned RINs in OptionsCustomiseData Defaults. I'm afraid I forgot
about this as mine is always unchecked because of my websites.

The Latin plural of census is census although the last u should be
long rather than short if you are saying it. It is 4th declension. In
English it is normally censuses because census doesn't sound right to
us.
As to using the master list, it all depends on how you use it. I have

Having now tried it, I would say it depends what source image you're

the other hand, a photo of an object might work fine. Text won't unless
it's large to begin with. Has anyone figured out to make the images

I Googled for the phrase Plural of Census and got a nice hit saying
the correct plural is 'censi' but it doesn't work well in current day

to varying degrees and then there were the downgrades into
'argumenti'MegG
Sorry, but I think Google is probably wrong. Most Latin nouns ending
in -us are 2nd declension and the plural would therefore be -i, but
census is 4th declension (like portus - a port) where the plural is
portus (pronounced portoos, ie a long u). I have checked in the
Collins and the Oxford Latin
