Ha. Oh, just me rabbiting on XD


It was a follow on to the aluminum thing.


Before I knew better I thought everyone spelled it the same and only the pronunciation was different. I was all "duh Muricans, too many syllables?".


Ah, such innocent days ^_^

Octopi is another word I was wrong about.


I never like hearing I'm wrong, but after that sting to the ego I do like becoming less wrong.


I don't know if I'll ever be right, but I do hope to one day be barely wrong. :D


So much to learn!

Pie?


Don't let Timmy see it!


The tldr is that octopus isn't a Latin word so using a Latin plural isn't justified and even if it was isn't necessarily a good reason anyway.


But I grew up saying octopi, so it's still a reflex.

Hehe I won't. Though I'm sure he'll smell it.

Funny thing is, my phone actually recognizes the word octopi.

Well yeah, it's a real word in the English language, it just has a nonsensical etymology is all.

The thing with it is that it hasn't been resolved.  So it's basically equally valid for the plural to say octopi, octopus, octopuses and octopodes.  It just isn't right to insist upon octopi as some people do.


Also I've got a term for machine based 'sonas:  whirries.


Yeah?  Amirite?  XD

Why whirries?

What part of any and all inorganic fursonas fundamentally goes "whirr"?
