I know this is old and I’ve been looking at it for over a week, but why wouldn’t Lisa Simpson, the smart one, use “octopi” which is much more intelligent sounding that the other options?

Damn... was it the contradictory shadows on his face and neck that gave it away???

Because she's clever and knows that "octopi" isn't a word. She'd use the most common plural or the etymologically correct one, e.g. octopuses or octopodes.

I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.

Acceptable and widely used.

I still argue that Lisa Simpson would look on Grammar.com

An octopus is a type of animal. Octopus is a loanword, which means it is a word borrowed from another language. In this case, the word octopus is a loanword from Greek. Octopi is a common mistake. Octopuses is the standard plural form of octopus. Some writers use octopi to refer to more than one octopus. This pluralization follows a rule for forming plurals of Latin words. However, the word octopus is not of Latin origin, so this formation is not correct. Octopuses follows the rule for regular plural nouns in English and has become the accepted plural of octopus in modern English. For this reason, you should use octopuses instead of octopi. Since octopi ends with -i and incorrect begins with i, you should have no trouble remembering whether octopuses or octopi is the right word to choose.

Odd. Must have been the crop. It was just a screen shot from my mobile.

Likely that's because there's a giant gulf between sounding intelligent and being intelligent.

 

[kikie]

So that is what is wrong with me. Sometimes I sound intelligent.

“Sounding” is the key to blaggin’.
