Question: What is the plural form of "status"?

Answer: 
There are some situations where *status* may be considered countable. In those cases, the plural form can be used as *statuses*. [MacMillan dictionary](http://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/american/status) gives 4 definitions for *status*, and 3 of them are referred to as countable. Personally, I would use *status* as the plural form instead of *statuses*.
Usually "statuses", but some people use "status"
================================================

As others have mentioned, there are several possible plural forms of *status*.

* *statuses,* regularly formed using the English plural suffix -(e)s. This is listed in various dictionaries e.g. [Collins English Dictionary](https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/status), [Merriam Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/status).
* *status,* taken from Latin. This is listed in a few dictionaries e.g. the Oxford English Dictionary (which actually gives three forms):

> 
> Pl. (*rare*) *status* /ˈsteɪtjuːs/, (now usu.) *statuses* /ˈsteɪtəsɪz/, (*rare*) *statusses* /ˈsteɪtəsɪz/.
> 
>

It’s not objectively better to use the Latinate plural form, or to try to pronounce it similarly to the way the Romans did. *Status* has been an English word, not just a Latin word, for a long time now. Latinate plurals ending in *-us* are rarely used in English, and in fact, several usage guides say the English form *-uses* is generally preferable.

The original *Dictionary of Modern English Usage* by H.W. Fowler, 1926 (as reproduced in the new 2009 edition) says in the entry for "-us":

> 
> Many [words ending in "-us"] are from Latin fourth-declension words, whose Latin plural is *-us* (pronounced ūs); but the English plural *-uses* is almost always preferred, as in *prospectuses.*
> 
>

The contemporary usage guide writer [Bryan Garner](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryan_A._Garner) wrote the following passage:

> 
> **nexus.** The acceptable plural forms are *nexuses* (English) and *nexus* (Latin). Naturally, the English form is preferable—e.g.: "The *nexuses* of activity for both rooms are the counters where the marijuana is dispensed." Glenn Martin, "The Tokin' Joint," *S.F. Chron.,* 24 Aug. 1997, at Z1. Some writers have betrayed their ignorance of Latin by writing \**nexi,* as if it were a second-declension noun.

To me, it seems simpler to just go with the regular English plural *statuses,* but if you prefer to use the Latinate plural *status* for whatever reason, you’ll have to make some additional choices about pronunciation (it doesn't seem obvious to me [how to pronounce it](https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/427877/how-are-plural-forms-like-status-pronounced)).
