I naturally find myself typing tulpas, but tulpae is good too. Just 'tulpa' would be too confusing with distinction between singular and plural though, and tulpi makes them sound kinda fruity

I go by tulpae just to be proper, even though I don't pronounce it correctly, I think. I pronounce it 'tulp-a'.

How is it proper? And aren't you the one saying stuff about fluff? Wouldn't using a weird and nonconventional way of pluralizing be fluffy?

I don't see it as fluffy, really. But then I've always known the plural form of the word as tulpae so it doesn't seem strange to me in the slightest.

Tulpae is how I have always called it and how I see it being called most often. Why change most people's way of pluralising it? Stick to the most used.
