I was mostly just sort of trying to be funny (unsuccessfully), but I also really haven’t ever seen \*ani \*used as a plural for \*anus \*in English, an \*anuses \*is certainly not wrong (in English, that is). In that case I agree with you. In general it’s preferable to use the English plural whenever possible; people usually use the Latin to try to seem learned. This often backfires, however, as in the cases of ocotopi (octopodes), penii (penes), clitorii (clitorides), rhinocerii (rhinocerotes), or virii (no Latin plural). ---

Seriously? No one’s said ‘Ill bet they taste like shit’ yet? You guys are slipping. > [@Machine\_Elf](#): > > I’m no expert in latin. So OK, octopus -\> octopodes cuz the “pus” is related to “pod” (feet), but wazzup with [anus?](http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/anus?s=t) It comes from the latin word anus. Similar with campus and virus. And radius. So what’s the rule for when a -us noun gets pluralized with an -i ending or a -uses ending? ‘Octopus’ is greek, octopuses is the correct plural. A plural -i ending is latin only. ---

It’s more complex than that, and has been hashed out on this board before. “Octopus” is, indeed, a Latin word. But it’s not firsyt declension, which woul take an “-i” plural;. It’s irregular third, and the plural is _octopodes_, as observed above. Of course, it’s also an English word, with correct plural _octopuses_. Myself, I avoid saying the plural. As the old joke goes, “Give me an octopus. And while you’re at it, give me another.” Work for \*mongoose[/i[, too. ---
