LOL I do this! Does no one understand the subjunctive anymore? And why do people insist on pluralizing the word Octopus as Octopi! How does a book get published using the word Octopi? I am not even close to a grammer nazi but sheesh!

LOL - Love it! Thanks... My poor kid loves octopuses and people keep correcting telling him "octopuses" isn't correct that it is "octopi" - he tells them octopuses is not only correct but more correct and they argue with him insisting octopi is the only correct way. Three times this has happened. Octopi isn't correct period - doesn't matter that people say it anyway. So annoying.
