It is octopodes. It’s Greek and it follows the Greek pluralisation convention.
Octopussy. Thank you very much.
Words brought into English can use English pluralisations, so you’re not wrong if you say octopuses. I think Grammar Girl had a take on this maybe 7 or even 8 years ago by now. These days, I can’t see myself getting worked up about it for the sheer fun of being pedantic like I used to.
It’s not octopuses that octopodes corrects, it’s octopi. Octopi is a Latin pluralization, and since the word is Greek and us to i isn’t specifically American, I agree with you that octopuses is fine but not that octopi is fine.
Octopus, octopuses, and octopodes are correct. Octopi incorrect.
In greek it would be incorrect, in english it’s not worse than the others.
Octopi is also correct. If anything, more correct than octopodes by virtue of popularity. Mismatching the language to the suffix does not a fake word make!
Octopodes.
