The plural of status is lifecycle.


Wouldn't that I ply all the statuses over time for something, but not necessarily a slice of those statuses? Like if we're taking about the plural of continent, we're looking for "continents", not necessarily "world", right ?


Ah, I'll add that right next to "story" depending on if it encompasses all time or just a slice of it.


I always thought "statii"? /s


I've used statusii as a var name holding the status of several things. Just because naming things is hard, and I felt spunky at the time.


"statii" doesn't exist. It is "status" (with a long u) or "statuses".


statodes


Of course, Greek! I should have seen it. Presumably pronounced to rhyme with Parmenides and Octopodes.
