Ah well, it's a shame, I was looking forward to pedantically correcting people with "Actually, Jedi is plural - so technically speaking, Luke Skywalker is a Jedus".

Jedi is the Lego of space opera. Although, I am lead to believe that Lego becomes Logolas when you introduce Hobbits.

Jedi is already plural…

It's a mass or uncountable noun; like happy or e-mail. People who write 'jedis' are as embarrassing as people who write 'emails'.

There is also concern about the missing hyphen. You wouldn't want to confuse e-mail with email.

The spaces around the slashes prompted me to read your comment like surreal poetry:

is email

emails like fish

fishes or grass

grasses?

I don't think so, i think OP os totally wrong, the word "emails" is valid in all cases of multiple emails.
