What's the plural of conscious?

[JohnCU]

Conscii?

 

[tfinch2]

Why would it be plural?

 

[Nithin]

adjectives don't have plurals. whats the plural of heavy?

 

[Ilmater]

Since the definition of "conscious" as a noun is "consciousness," then the plural would be "consciousnesses."

 

[JohnCU]

Your conscious, the thing that tells you you're doing something wrong, that's an adjective?

 

[tfinch2]

You can't have more than one state. You're either conscious or not!

 

[ggavinmoss]

consciences.

 

[shenaniganz]

Consious is not a noun. Do you mean conscience?

Edit: Looks like I'm a little late to the party.

He's an idiot because he doesn't know what conscious means.

"Consciousness" is a noun, "conscious" is not.

Edit: Now if I could just spell the words...
