So because some people are reckless, all people should be unable to fix their shit?

How can they prove guilt? Innocent until proven guilty under English common law, right?

"As with many modern scientific creature-names, it was coined in Modern Latin from Greek elements, so it might be allowed to partake of Latin grammar in forming the plural"

Literally from the link you provided. It was coined initially in the language of modern latin, from Greek roots, certainly, but the word objectively and literally comes from modern latin.

Nope! Octopuses, octopuses, and octopi are all correct afaik

Exactly. I think that's what the sentiment of the person you're replying to was as well.

In the US they usually just hit you with trumped up charges for daring to do something. When the keystone xl pipeline was being built some protesters crawled inside so they couldn't continue working... those protesters were charged with attempted murder iirc (because it was dangerous for them to crawl inside the pipeline or some bs).

All English words that don't have a specific pluralization (eg mouse, mice) can be pluralized with either an s or an es. It's also a Latin and Greek root, so it can be pluralized as you did, in the Latin way, or the Greek way (Thesauroi), or alternatively with the s/es ending, all of which are correct!

 

Something I did like about the other place was the communities for localities, and while I doubt we've hit that type of critical mass yet I figured I'd shoot since I'm in a pretty big city: anybody else live in Brooklyn or elsewhere in the greater NYC area? I'll understand if this gets removed, just couldn't think of a better place to try it.
