Note
A plain -s plural with nothing irregular about it: one ratio, two ratios, a set of financial ratios. The same spelling also does a newer job online. Where ratio is a verb, meaning to answer a post with more replies than it has likes, ratios is its present tense: a reply that ratios the original post. The two are easy to tell apart, because the verb always takes an object.
