    I HAVE THE BEST ONE OMG:

    There are 4 plurals of octopus

    1. Octopus
    2. Octopi
    3. Octopuses
    4. OCTOPODI

    Octopi is not a plural form of Octopus (like cactus/cacti) because it is not from a Latin word

    https://www.merriam-webster.com/video/octopus

    PUH-lease.

    Very nice debate. I have been truly edumacated :-)

    While technically octopi is not correct, it has become an accepted form of the plural through usage and has been adopted by the Merriam-Webster dictionary, at least in the United States. I'm not sure If the Oxford English Language Dictionary has also accepted it as an acceptable plural form of the word, but the Yankees like their sea creatures addressed as such.

    'Murica.

    I wonder if I'll ever get to use the plural form of octopus? For example: Hey, look at all those octopuses!

    Maybe not but I've definitely modified it to suit my needs... like "look at all these muffinopodi I'm about to eat!"

    I just want to bring this back because I think I'm funny as *kitten*.

    Incorrect. In the US it would be 10/2/17. But dates can be done any way.

    Taco Bell's menu items are basically the same ingredients rearranged differently.

    Put some Nacho Cheese on it and it's a totally different item. MMM, I do love some nasty Taco Bell.

    We say “hair” when referring to a lot of it, but we say “hairs” when referring to only a few.

    Severed Lizard Tail Has a Mind of Its Own. Once shed or cut from the lizard's body, the tail completes complex jumps and lunges. And the lizard can grow a new tail if it's cut.
