so it is probably good for us to talk about how the import price index is important to overall inflation, since US imports play a relatively large role in retail goods and services, their prices may have a big impact. - though, I am not honestly sure the best way to word that. Thus I did find a few good external links that discuss that part of import prices, but I have yet to make any edits to the article. Mynameiscurtis
All the major price programs at BLS refer to their outputs in the plural as indexes, not indices. Dictionary.com gives this definition with the BLS's prefered spelling as a plural form:
in·dex (ĭn'děks') n. pl. in·dex·es or in·di·ces (-dĭ-sēz')
