WolfPrince (09/11/2015) [-] Octopi, octopus and octopus's are all correct terms.
The English language is messed up.

>octopus's
That's possessive singular. And just 'octopus' is not an accepted plural form; those are octopi, octopuses, and octopodes.
Furthermore 'octopus' has its roots in the ancient Greek language, but the word as we use it today is derived from Latin, and nearly every word in the English language derived from Latin drops the -us and replaces it with -i for the plural form.
As is the case with the English language, the above rule has exceptions out the ass but that's the general rule of thumb to go by.

Merriam Webster, as an American company, has no business deciding these things.
As usual, the infinitly superior Oxford Dictionaries has us covered and says that Octopi is actually the only incorrect form as it arose due to a misunderstanding.

Cool, because in all honesty didn't really want to invest anymore time to discussing octopodes today.
