Those who are ignorant about the English Language and its
etymology, especially the Yanks and nerdy types, have
introduced the erroneous plural, "antennas".

Lessee now...which side won the Revolution??? :-).
Which country has the most native speakers of English as the first
language?

54-40 or fight (Oops, wrong war)

As my college English philology teacher (a Brit) said:

"If the participle wants to dangle, let it dangle."

From Kraus' 'Antennas', first edition, footnote on page 1:
In its zoological sense, and antenna is the feeler, or organ of touch, of
an
insect. According to usage in the United States the plural of "insect
antenna" is "antennae," but the plural of "radio antenna" is "antennas".
However, the usage in England makes no distinction, the plural of both
"insect" antenna" and "radio antenna" being "antennae."

So for those not native to the USA or England, it depends on where your
English teaher came from, I guess.
