“stacey” —have you guys ever seen gummi octopi before? (it makes sense that it should happen this way)
Where the author used hectopus (six legs), she meant septopus (seven legs). But if she had, I’d never have found this amusing blog post.
The plural of octopi octopus [“Pedant, heal thyself,” writes Nick.] is actually octopodes, but that’s nit picking. Oh, and stacey — check to see whether it’s gummi octopus residue that’s keeping your shift key from working.
Found whilst googling for “hectopus”.
