After a debate with my intelligent other half I had to check out Dictionary.com regarding the right plural spelling for octopus. He insisted that octopuses was the correct word ..... I could only think of the song about the octopus's garden ... but that is just a rhyming made up word. OK I WAS WRONG !! Octopi is wrong. Octopodes is the correct word but this software wants octopuses! So octopuses it will be then. Sheesh we learn funny things for ever heheee Still 2 posts to go!
