| == RE: Octupus plural ==
| |
|
| |
| Hi, "octopuses" is the standard English plural for octopus. "Octopi" is a quirky alternative spelling that is also used, but much less. I see no reason for you to be changing the standard plural to a quirky alternative.

| Sources:
| |
| * Any dictionary. They all list octopuses as the standard, and octopi as an alternative. [https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/octopus Webster], [https://www.dictionary.com/browse/octopus dictionary.com], [https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/octopus Oxford]. Note how Oxford doesn't even list octopi at all!
| |
| * [https://grammarist.com/usage/octopi-octopuses/ Grammarist]: "Octopuses is '''far more common''' than octopi in edited writing of all kinds, including scientific writing."
| |
| * [https://www.grammarly.com/blog/octopi-octopuses/ Grammarly]: "Many people don’t like octopi, and you will '''rarely''' see it in edited works, but it does occasionally appear."
