Indexes vs Indices

&#160;

see Parla entry... she hits the nail on the head... it IS indexes!

&#160;

referring to a collection of alphabetical lists... it's indexes....

referrring to a collection of signs or indications, it's indices...

a personal choice... but this feels right!

&#160;

&#160;

Panjandrum &#160;also has it right... depends on context;

in comp sci... collection of indexes &#160;(not indices)

&#160;

but &#160;indices of disease eg &#160;( a collection of symptoms)</p>
