ixes versus ices RE: Appendixes vs. Annexes

["Sean Brierley" <sbri -at- haestad -dot- com>]

It's whatever you want it to be, just be consistent. Search the
archives, this has been done before. However:

1) Parallelism with indexes, plural of index (indices being a
mathematical thing) suggests the use of appendixes

2) I infer from The Chicago Manual of Style that appendixes is
preferred, not by any statement in the reference guide but by its use of
the term.

Speaking of splitting hairs in English. Is the plural of Appendix
Appendixes or Appendices? (I hope the consensus is Appendices cause
that's what's in my manuals)
