Re: Prediction Page, (bring your quatloos, gps, and internets, you'll need them.)
I was gonna say I'm not familiar with that sort of thing, but...
...I guess I should defer to you on this.
I guess so? Well, it depends on how you interpret those nicknames, first of all, but I can't really think of any others in a similar vein. At least not at major (or even mid-major) programs.

Re: Prediction Page, (bring your quatloos, gps, and internets, you'll need them.)
Octopuses is the plural of octopus. Because I'm speaking English.
Now, if you want to get pedantic, OED states that both octopuses and octopi are accepted pluralizations of octopus, and octopodes is nowhere to be found. Octopi is likely derived from Latin pluralization since octopus is latinization of the Greek októpus, but as i speak neither Latin nor Greek (but can read Latin, yay four years of that in high scool!), i use English. Octopuses.

I did feel like you purposely used "octopuses" instead of "octopi" to fan the flames of the alga/algae discussion.

compromise solution: it's "an algus" and "several octopae"

[INCOHERENT SCREAMING.]
Interesting pick, this OED of yours. Since I don't have a physical copy or a subscription, I cannot comment on the veracity of the claim. Merriam-Webster, at any rate does list octopodes.
Octopi is likely derived from Latin pluralization

Re: Prediction Page, (bring your quatloos, gps, and internets, you'll need them.)
Neat! But I'm still not speaking Latin.
Real talk, though, the attempted forced Latinization of English in the 19th century was ridiculous and made the language, which was already in a pretty sorry state of affairs, even more of a cluster**** to deal with. Which i don't mind for myself, i have a fairly commanding grasp of the language, but it sucks for ESL people or for those who had to go to public school and learn all sorts of nonsense and think they can't split infinitives or end sentences with prepositions.Cuthalion's art is the prettiest art of all the art.

Re: Prediction Page, (bring your quatloos, gps, and internets, you'll need them.)
You know what? I'mma make a different kind of prediction.
I bet the entire internet, that there will be someone who comments on the discussion thread of the climax page that it "wasn't satisfying" for them, or some equivalent, right in the middle of everyone else going "holy crap that was amazing"!If you think "interesting" is an anticlimax, I feel sorry for you because it means you don't really know about interesting.

Re: Prediction Page, (bring your quatloos, gps, and internets, you'll need them.)
Indeed.
A preposition is the kind of word that one must never end a sentence with.
I remember an 8th grade teacher intoning something like
"The ending of a sentence with a preposition is bad writing, up with which I shall not put."
I predict that the quinton will call in Xykon's marker on 'even/odd' in a non-comedic way, but the accompanying modrons will flash signs that are funny during that same panel.Last edited by KorvinStarmast; 2023-06-15 at 07:39 AM.
