Fun fact: Because “octopus” comes from the Green and not Latin, the plural is “octopodes” or “octopuses” in English!

No sarcasm. It’s just hilarious using grammar from foreign languages to argue what’s the single right way to bastardize loan words. Do I have to decline octopus too? Lololol

Or just "octopus" as both the singular and plural.

This octopus plays music and seems to have gotten into piano over the course of learning to play notes for food.
