Is the singular also Jedi, or is there a lesser known Jedo, Jedus or Jedum knocking around that we should be using?

It’s one of those wonderful words which is both singular and plural at the same time:)

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”.

Little Jedi’s what is on board?
Little Jedi is on board.
There’s only one little jedi, and it’s on board.
Every time someone uses an apostrophe to make a word plural, a kitten dies. Please donate the price of a cup of coffee and save a kitten.
Maybe there’s just 1 and it’s a contraction:
Jedi is already plural…
OK? That’s the possessive form. Or maybe a contraction for “Jedi is.”
I read it as “Little Jedi is on board”.
And there’s nothing wrong with that sentence. I mean, apart from having children. Last thing this world needs is MORE humans…
Maybe we should flood the zone with nerdlings tho

Misanthropy is for losers
It’s a mass or uncountable noun; like happy or e-mail. People who write ‘jedis’ are as embarrassing as people who write ‘emails’.
Emails is correct usage in many instances
Is email / emails like fish / fishes or grass / grasses?
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.
There is also concern about the missing hyphen. You wouldn’t want to confuse e-mail with email.

HERE COMES AN S
Padawans?
if I ever have kids, I’d want my car to have a sticker that says “Little sith lords on board”
