A cactus (plural: cacti, the word derives from Greek, thus the Latin plural "cacti" is etymologically inappropriate, though it is frequently used nonetheless as is otherwise singular "cactus")

words derived from latin use the "i" plural method, words derived from greek use the "es" plural method.
so words like cactus and octopus plural should be cactuses and octopuses.
