Generally accepted is 'octopuses', but the technically correct is 'octopodes', while 'octopi' is contested.

No you're not cos you never know when I'll pop up

I have a resident Latin scholar sitting on the settee at the moment watching BBC news 24........otherwise known as Mr JC.

Mr JC believes that the plural of .....octopuss.......is octopusses as it is derived from a Greek word rather than Latin. Octopode is a generic word which refers to any 8 legged creature.

Howzat for trivia

Hi Brady. I am pretty sure the breakdown of the term 'octipodes' is from "octo" (Latin) and "okto" (Greek) meaning "8" and "podes" (Latin) and "pous" (Greek) for "foot."
The Oxford Dictionary lists the plural of Octopus as 'octopuses," but I prefer 'octopi.'
Octopuses, or octopi, depending on your preference, are from the Phylum MOLLUSCA, from the Latin "soft."

Hi PMan, sleep fairy was missing here too. Don't know lots bout football, son supports Liverpool - he isn't happy - that's bout it! PM this is very much a case of 'do as I say not as I do' but try not to worry bout not sleeping - it just perpetuates the problem (the worrying) - it will come. I have to admit to taking a half sleeping tablet from time to time tho. Hope you have a lovely walk talk later
