platypi

FTFY

[–]something_facetious 4 points5 points ago

Thanks. Was just about to do that.

[–]sheravi 2 points3 points ago*

Nope, it's platypuses. It's not a latin word, so {edit}theoretically{/edit} you can't pluralize it that way (link). Same thing with octopus. Technically it should be octopodes, but octopuses works for normal writing/speaking.

[–]something_facetious 1 point2 points ago

But...but...platypi and octopi sound so much more fun...

[–]sheravi 0 points1 point ago

I know. It still sounds odd to me.

[–]something_facetious 0 points1 point ago

If we all just keep using it the wrong way, eventually it might become a word in the dictionary... like bling.

That website will be the death of reddit.

[–]OmniaII 0 points1 point ago

The fact that it was reposted 18 times (according to KD and forget the ones KD didn't catch) in the past 10 months is the death of reddit...

If I had an upvote for every time this pic has been posted I would put andrewsmith to shame

[–]theamplifiedorganic 1 point2 points ago

97% approval rating. 3% got stabbed by the venomous claw.

[–]PortablePlatypus 1 point2 points ago

I want me a platypup.

[–]Lord_Tynan 1 point2 points ago

Kind of a stupid question on a repost. Have a down boat.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

r/awww loves puggles.

I vowed when I saw this post if I saw one phineas and ferb reference... I will have no faith in humanity..

[–]greaseballheaven 0 points1 point ago

Yes, every time.

[–]shun-16 0 points1 point ago

According to Karmadecay it's only been posted 18 times in 10 months. I don't mind reposts because not everyone sees stuff the first time but honestly, nearly twice a month?
