However, from a descriptive approach, the use of the technically wrong <i>octopi</i> would be acceptable. <br /><br />And I like pedantic discussions about language, Stevie Bee, so don't hold back.kushibohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10306033998028548550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869680.post-69685726863026816062010-04-19T12:13:37.346+09:002010-04-19T12:13:37.346+09:00Man... these guys have to just chill.
