    I watched My Octopus Teacher with my partner last night and we both cried. It sounds like an anime title, but it’s an INCREDIBLE documentary.

    It saunters up to the tiki bar, sunglasses slightly askew, as it holds up a sand dollar with one tentacle while another is waving, beckoning

    Reminds me of the cuddlemen from the YouTube All Tomorrows project.

      I know this is a tongue-in-cheek comment, but octopuses is generally preferred: https://oceanconservancy.org/blog/2022/02/01/plural-octopus/

          Before using wrong a plural in a language you don’t know, just use an anglized plural, octopuses (or octopusses).

          Afaik, octopodi would be correct as 'pus is actually derived from ancient greek “pous” meaning foot (latin would be “pes”). And even in Latin, not everything ending on -us has -i as plural.
