    I watched My Octopus Teacher with my partner last night and we both cried. It sounds like an anime title, but it’s an INCREDIBLE documentary.

      A great reminder to please not eat octopus, even if you eat meat in general. They’re so intelligent.

      I know this is a tongue-in-cheek comment, but octopuses is generally preferred: https://oceanconservancy.org/blog/2022/02/01/plural-octopus/

          Before using wrong a plural in a language you don’t know, just use an anglized plural, octopuses (or octopusses).

          Afaik, octopodi would be correct as 'pus is actually derived from ancient greek “pous” meaning foot (latin would be “pes”). And even in Latin, not everything ending on -us has -i as plural.
