fourth declension
"Fourth Declension is the best declension just because of the neuter fourth declension chart. "
Nick Smemoe, Thales Academy Apex, NC
"Fourth declension nouns are really easy to identify. I love the repetition of the u’s. The uum genitive plural is really unmatched in terms of noun endings. Fourth declension neuter is also really funny to look at."
Vivienne Ardnt, Miramonte High School, CA
second declension

"uum."
Joshua Kohm, Edison High School, VA
"Because of the saying: "First is the worst, second is the best..."'
Sydney Aune, BASIS Tuscon North , AZ
"Nothing has a genitive plural quite like the second declension -- you see that -orum on a word and you just know that it's genitive. The second declension's endings are solid and reliable; you can tell that it's always there for you when you need it. "
Felix Chen, The Harker School, CA
