Executive styluses
http://www.infosync.no/news/2002/n/2793.html
On InfoSync Anthony Newman reviews several styli from the executive category: (Sensa Minx (Crystal Silver); Cross Matrix; Rotring Quattro Executive; Yasutomo Executive Quad-Point; Lamy Black Titanium Trio). From this setup Anthony prefers the Sensa Minx, but this is all about personal preferences. As this is the Christmas season go check the review out, you might end up with an idea for a gift for the one you love. Even if that means yourself.

I believe the correct term is 'styli' not 'styluses' :P

Technically, both terms are correct. Remember, too, that Marlof is European, so we have to occasionally bend the rules for him...

Although the "-us"=singular, "-i"=plurul comes from Latin, which is European, so Marlof should be more correct than you colonials. 
However, I defer to the dictionary.

Even if one spelling was more 'correct' than the other - we all know what the meaning was. I hope this board doesn't become a spell and grammar checking forum... I might have to hide my posts!
