You should probably go back to school. Because even my Mentally challenged braindead hooker-friend knows that the plural of octopus is said "Octopi"School is over.
No go crawl in a hole somewhere, and die.
"Fowler's Modern English Usage states that "the only acceptable plural in English is octopuses", and that octopi is misconceived and octopodes pedantic. Octopi derives from the mistaken notion that octōpūs is a second declension Latin noun, which it is not. Rather, it is (Latinized) Greek, from oktṓpous (ὀκτώπους😉, gender masculine, whose plural is oktṓpodes (ὀκτώποδες😉. If the word were native to Latin, it would be octōpēs ('eight-foot'😉 and the plural octōpedes, analogous to centipedes and mīllipedes, as the plural form of pēs ('foot'😉 is pedes. In modern, informal Greek, it is called chtapódi (χταπόδι😉, gender neuter, with plural form chtapódia (χταπόδια😉."
Octopuses is the correct term.
Looks like you need to go back to school.
