In their continuous search for the plural of Prius, Toyota has turned to James Lipton who, in a new video, interviews William Shakespeare, an octopus, a rapper, and others to get a handle on the proper word for the plural of Prius. Shakespeare think the correct word in Prium but his suggestion falls to the bottom of the list. Here are the current standings:

Prii: 25%
Prius: 24%
Priuses: 20%
Prien: 19%
Prium: 12%

Saatchi & Saatchi is the agency behind the work which also includes a Facebook page on which people can suggest and vote of potential candidates for the word.

Your Boomer mother didn’t stop having dreams when she had you — she just stopped mentioning them because every time she said “I used to want to” someone in the room made it about guilt, and eventually she learned that the safest place to keep an unlived life was inside a sentence that started with “it doesn’t matter anymore”

I’m 65 and I spent forty years believing retirement would feel like relief – instead it feels like I finally have permission to become the person I was too busy to be, and that freedom is terrifying and exhilarating in equal measure
