The origin of the word "octopus" is Greek, not Latin, so the plural form would be "octopuses".
Just in case you care.
I don't, but will use the proper terminology from now on, just to make you comfortable, because I'm nice and polite like that, and I pick my battles.
You can do whatever you want, I don't care. Just throwing it out there, as I would with any other terminology, grammar, myth, etc. on which I may happen to possess useful/useless knowledge.
I appreciate the effort, the thought and intent is good, and I will honor it by spelling "octopuses" correctly from now on, thank you for teaching me a bit about etymology.
Very nice
