No, its not. An old fashioned movie is an actual old fashioned movie. A book is typed words, possibly pictures, reflecting a story, description or similar – seriously, a movie and book is two different medias and she just comes out ignorant because of it. Yes, I´m pedantic, but the character would know better.
Tue Elung-JensenPedant-in-training, maybe, but a true pedant knows that media is already plural. Medium is the singular and medias does not exist and mediums is highly questionable.
June MoffattMediums, as a questionable word, is singular, because it is just one word. As Latin plurals slowly get dropped in favor of Latin singulars with English s, es, or whatever, that may be its future, but that future isn’t here yet.
