Original Note:

English is a language that is always evolving, and although octopi has become common in usage, the OP is correct according to the pluralization rules regarding root words from the original Greek. Greek plural is oktṓpodes. In English, it is octopuses. https://www.oxfordreference.com/display/10.1093/acref/9780199661350.001.0001/acref-9780199661350-e-3956 https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/octopus https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/english-today/article/abs/fuss-about-the-octopus/8828E2086E6F4F30EEF3EF9245019DB3 https://www.etymonline.com/word/octopus https://web.mit.edu/boojum/www/Octopus/Rules/octopodes.htm
