ELFILIN PLURALIZATION GOD]

why say "vortexes" like a normal person when you can instead use the cooler plural that's consistent with "vertices", "matrices", and "indices" (among other words)? (for the record, wiktionary lists both words as plurals of "vortex".)

here's the "slightly higher effort meme" that i promised. it actually took a stupidly long time to make because of various technical difficulties. again, not an expert meme maker. not yet.
