Cangooner:
The correct plural form of "octopus" is "octopoda" or "octopuses."

Actually, if I can correct your correction, I think the first option should be 'octopodes' rather than 'octopoda'...

Sorry, I was going on what the nuns taught me decades ago in Latin (damn them to HELL!!). Besides, Mickey Redmond is the idiot who started all that "octopi" crap. He's got more hair now than he did 30 years ago! Originally Posted by Cangooner
