Mos Number Of I's

[Ric0]

I have 18?

[Johnlawrence]

Agreed

[Ric0]

Many thanks

[Radagast]

Agree. 18 Is and 15 As.

[brainiac]

Are you sure on this? I've checked and checked and can only find 17

[goodgoalie]

Me too - 17

[Radagast]

I have sui iuris and I suppose you have sui juris. Which is correct?

[Captain2]

The 'I' looks to have the edge.

[goodgoalie]

My Collins and Concise Oxford both have SUI JURIS

[goodgoalie]

Chambers also has SUI JURIS

[brainiac]

am going with 17 - setter more likely to agree with dictionaries

[Radagast]

I think I'll stick with iuris. The clue says a Latin phrase and if you type juris here:

it changes it to iuris.

I'm sure that if the clue was:
'Under judicial consideration and so prohibited from discussion elsewhere' (3, 6)
the answer would be 'sub judice' not 'sub iudice', so I'm sticking with JURIS.

[Radagast]

You may well be right. We'll have to wait and see, but a Latin phrase can't contain a J.

[goodgoalie]

Tell that to Julius Caesar :)

[goodgoalie]

It was Sui Juris, so 17
