Which language, Latin or English? Who says that in English it needs to have the same meaning as in Latin?

Heck, I've reminded about false friends. For example library ("librărie") in Romanian is the place where you buy books, not rent them.

My particular thing is to avoid Latin plurals in English, but I'm never sure how far to take it. Definitely forums, but axises is possibly annoying.
