-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Octopodes.
English is such a dumb fucking language. I really hope we reform it some day to reduce the time future generations waste learning all the stupid exceptions to every single rule
Well... there WAS a point in time where english could have been replaced by German as THE international language...
I think this factoid gets spun out of proportion. Iirc German could ve become the language of science or one field of science. But it was never a contender for the language of trade or diplomacy (the latter being held by french for a long time).
This was more a tongue-in-cheek reference to a time period from roughly the late 30s to the mid 40s of the last century... but of course you are correct ๐
Now you're going to tell me that bison is singular even though it has bi for two in it
They're called "bison" because they weigh at least as much as two sons kissing (non-related).
At least "octopuses" is correct.
It's Octopussies!
