      The way the septics say "Caribbean" winds me up.
      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

        You should take a look at yourself in the meer sometime.

            Meer: Meer is a small village in the Dutch province of Overijssel. It is located in the municipality of Twenterand, about 2 km west of the town of Den Ham.

                Octopodes.



                No, really it's Octopuses.
                1 is an Octopus, and
                (a) it's not Latin 2nd declension so Octopi is false
                (b) an octopus is not a pus, so although the (Ancient Greek) plural of pus is podes, the plural of octopus is not octopodes. In the same way as the plural of walkman is not walkmen, and the plural of Dobermann is not Doberleute or even Dobermänner.

                  Both are valid, but, logically, it should be octopodes.
