I was always taught in school that the correct plural form of octopus is octopi, but is octopuses also acceptable, as Mr. Zimmer and his editors believe?

As a Canadian, I am unsure if maybe it is just the American spelling.

I learned that myself in school (in America). I'm pretty sure it's octopi, but maybe they know something we don't.

Check this thread...

Thanks for the interesting insite.

"insite"? Insight.

And screw it, I always liked octopodes. Greek root, Greek plural!
