why in latins languages portuguese, spanish when you change some words to the plural form, you change the m for n and acress the s in front, so item go to itens.

That actually makes sense, but they use it for singular as well and change it from "item" to "iten". How does that make any sense then?

I dont know about portugues, but in spanish plural doesn't change from m to n....

The confussion of somepeople when they say this word or even write it, is because there are not many 'latin' words, or at least spanish words, ending in 'm', so I guess its easier to remember or to pronunciate it with an 'n'.
