The plural of decubitus is not decubiti. Being a fourth declension Latin word ending in 'us,' decubitus is both singular and plural.

Merchant's view x-ray
My orthopedic surgeon and I are having a go around in regards to x-rays views.  He wants "Merchant view," I say it is "Merchant's view" (being possessive since it is Dr. Merchant that it is named after.  Yet when I search the Internet it comes up in doctor's literature, medical schools, radiology offices as all of the above as well as "Merchants view."  My daughter who graduated recently with a major in English said it should be "Merchant's view," that the possessive is the correct way.  Any opinions out there?
