My dive friends got in such a tizzy about "octopus, octopi" that we now refer to them as "octopus" (singular) and "octos" (plural).

Having spent my whole life in construction and most of it before h&s was even thought of I wouldn't be in the least surprised 🤦

ahhh…..the days when pain from doing stupid things would stop people doing stupid things.
