It's a little complicated. Her birth certificate reads "Mortenson," but she was baptized "Baker."

A flush wouldn't beat four of a kind. A flush implies that all the cards are of the same suit (ie a hand of only hearts). A straight flush implies that the cards also must be in order (ie 5 of hearts, 6 of hearts, 7 of hearts, 8 of hearts, 9 of hearts). A full house would beat a flush but not a 4 of a kind or straight flush.

Though the article says it's equivalent to a Straight Flush it's not a correct answer. Running flush seems to refer to a game called three-card brag which is - you might have guessed it - played with 3 cards only. So there can't be a 4 of a kind to beat.

The plural of quantum, in English, is quantums.

The plural of quantum in Latin is quanta.

Since it's an English word, no matter which language it originated from, its plural form follows the rules of the English grammar.

Else-wise, the plural of the word 'metaphor' would be, as in Greek, 'metaphorai'. But that's not the case, because that way we would have to find every time the origin language of every word and form the plural based on that language's grammar rules. But that's not the case in any language. Much less in English.

I am not an English Native but I never saw the term "quantums" either in scientific or day-to-day English. Have you ever seen this term prior to your nitpicking try here? And please do not explain us that there are a lot of bacteriums and childs out there!

but English does sometimes follow the original language's grammar rules?

Ex. the plural of goose isn't gooses, it's geese. The plural of mouse isn't mouses, it's mice. (on the other hand, the plural of house is houses, not hice).

English plurals are a weird bunch, and saying they follow the "rules of English grammar" is very much incorrect

Aren't you the one who complained on the previous general knowledge quiz about this? Go to a dictionary site and look at the plural for quantum. It's quanta. English is full of irregular plurals because it borrows so much from so many languages. Complain all you want about irregular plurals, but it's just lazy to assume you know what you're talking about without looking it up.

And yet the plural of "datum" is "data." The plural of "alumnus" is "alumni." "Stratus" becomes "strata," "bacterium" becomes "bacteria," "fungus" becomes "fungi," "phenomenon" becomes "phenomena," "stimulus" becomes "stimuli," etc. English is full of irregular plurals that originate in other languages.

baloney. Since the end of WW2 and creation of the United Nations very few wars have been declared because it's more advantageous to not declare war. Used to be the other way around. But these political realities don't change what a war is.

The VW Cars are only coincidentally named after Sport.

The real naming is after winds.

There is the Gulfstream (Golfstrom in German), Polarstream, Jetstream (VW Jetta), in southern italy is the scirorro, the VW Passat after the trade winds in the tropics (Passatwinde in German), the VW Bora after the Wind in the adreatic sea (e.g. in Croatia)
