Plural
To quote Wikipedia: The plural form octopi is often defined as a hypercorrection. The Oxford English Dictionary (2008 Draft Revision)lists octopuses, octopi and octopodes (in that order); it labels octopodes "rare", although the correct Greek plural form, and notes that octopi derives from the "apprehension" that octōpūs is a second declension Latin noun, though it is not. It is a Latinization of Greek third-declension masculine oktṓpous (ὀκτώπους, 'eight-foot'), plural oktṓpodes (ὀκτώποδες). -Vulpes 19:50, 27 November 2010 (EST)
- Define 'hypercorrection'. Dragonfree 19:51, 27 November 2010 (EST)
- It basically means making the word wrong by trying to make it right.-Vulpes 19:53, 27 November 2010 (EST)
