What is the foreign plural and English of octopus?

Here's the breakdown:

* Foreign Plural: The plural of "octopus" in Greek, the language from which the word comes, is octopodes.

* English Plural: The more common plural form in English is octopuses.

While "octopodes" is technically correct, it's less frequently used in everyday English.
