  Professor should know that it’s etymologically Greek, so octopi is generally considered to be wrong.

  Octopuses, or octopodes if you’re feeling badass, would be preferable afaik.

    Octopuses, octopodes, and octopi are fine.

    Pus isn’t the Greek form so it’s neither here nor there. Octopus is an English word and as such can be pluralized in numerous ways. Octopodes is my favorite though.
