Bow Before My Adroit Philology!

I just discovered my new favorite YouTube channel: Merriam-Webster Online!

I was raised by an “Enriching Your Word Power” mom. Thus, I’m one of those nerds who might correct you if you said, “octopuses.” But I just found out that I’ve been wrong all these years! The correct plural is not “octopi,” but “octopodes” (using the Greek pronunciation “oct-top’-oh-dees”)!  But you should only use “octopodes” if you’re prepared to explain why, which I now am thanks to this video!

Funny thing is, I still can’t spell worth a rip.
