What troubles me most is that the plural of the English "bonus" is "bonuses" instead of "boni". Brrr.

Some game system used "boon(s)" and "bane(s)" instead of "bonus" and "malus".

Blame William. When the French Vikings were imposing Latin on the Germanic tongue of the Britons his advisors suggested grammatical rules were more important than unifying the lexicon.
Little known fact, but the rebellion in the North was entirely an attempt to avoid generations of British schoolboys being forced to spend five years of their life attempting to distinguish between nouns, pronouns, gerunds, participles and infinitives.
