Hallo:
Which dictionaries are y'all using? I have a Webster's New World Dictionary,
dated 1996, on my desk. It's not super-all-inclusive but does the job and,
if a word's not in there, or in my Manual of Style, I should probably not be
using it.
My dictionary lists the plural of "status" as "statuses."
All the best.
Sean
