      But thats just a single dinghy.

      If you pluralize that its either dinghies or dingii?

      Meh, my autistic brain gets stuck on weird stupid shit like this.

      Its like… If you have a donut, then a second donut, you have two donuts.

      You can say two donut to be cutesy i guess?

      Very hard for me to tell when being cutesy is appropriate.

          If the root singular word is dingus, this makes sense.

          If the root singular word is dinghy, as I guess I have always said, then it does not.

          Well at least I partially understand my own confusion now, thanks!
