Octopi
Octopuses. It's an English word, not Latin.
If you wanted to be less wrong, but still try to look smart, you could use octopodes, since it's of Greek root. But in any case, it's an English word, and thus is Octopuses.
All 3 are correct because language is determined by use https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/the-many-plurals-of-octopus-octopi-octopuses-octopodes
Read some Wittgenstein nerd.
Get out of here you descriptivist.
Don't you know we here folk on lemmy are prescriptivists by law? God help you if autocorrect messes with your intended statement.

You can make up whatever words you want, yes.
That's just saying you're ignorant of how other people communicate, so you're going to make up your own words and hope for the best.
You seem to be the one ignorant of how other people communicate.
And you seem to want to make up more words because your vocabulary is limited. Defend ypur ignorance as much as you want. 🤷
What are you even talking about? I haven't made up any words.
Do Moose and Meese next!
