Talk:octopii

About the usage note
This doesn't seem to be quite correct... Octopus is Latin, from the ancient Greek, oktopous. Apparently it is treated as a third declension Latin noun. Some dictionaries only allow "octopuses", while others accept octopuses, octopi and octopodes - in decreasing frequency of usage, octopodes being the rarest. The above note is correct in stating that "octopii" is not generally accepted.
