you’ve been doing it wrong

thegrammarnazi:

migueld:

the plural form of octopus is not octopi, a fact we can point to hypercorrection (the -us ending in latin did in fact pluralize by shifting to -i, but goddamnit the word octopus is GREEK).

say it with me now: the plural of octopus is octopodes.

wrong as it may look it’s oh-so-right.

spread. the. word.
