Who else had an irrational need to say *Octopi but stopped to make sure they were right only to find out they were not..
> People often write “octopi” instead because they assume that the plural noun is formed in the same way as Latin loanwords such as “fungus/fungi.” But “octopus” actually comes from Greek, where its original plural is “octopodes.” In English, it instead has the regular plural form “octopuses.”
Well played OP
