      Also, octopi. They’re all “correct” due to the multiple original languages’ grammar.

        i can do you one better: language doesn’t have rules, if it sounds good it’s valid, who cares

      I’ve always preferred ‘octopodes’. It’s just such a fun word.

        After reading the children of time series, I choose to use octopodes simply due to the fact that they are beautifully narcissistic little bastards in those books.

        Man is that a good, if gut wrenching series.

        Thank you! I knew they were all correct, and I knew why, but I didn’t have an authoritative source to point folks to.

          It used to be on the Merriam Webster YouTube channel but I think that editor left and for some reason it was taken down.
