<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 133431, member: 4626&quot;]Well there is no ultimate authority in grammar, lol, and to a degree what is and is not grammatically correct depends on whatever is accepted common usage, which can change.&nbsp; It is generally considered proper grammar to use Latin grammatical rules when dealing with Latin or Latin-derived words, but you almost never see &quot;stadia&quot; as the plural of stadium, and you often see &quot;data&quot; treated as if it were a singular word and not a plural (technically it&#039;s the plural of &quot;datum&quot;).&nbsp; Usually Latin style plural forms are ony used for words directly derived from Latin, however many words the Romans borrowed from Greek and incorporated into Latin are used as if they were Latin.&nbsp; Both &quot;octopuses&quot; and &quot;octopi&quot; are technically correct... I prefer &quot;octopuses&quot; myself, just because it preserves convention... but to each their own, grammar is not a static thing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway enough derailment of the topic, lol...&nbsp; back to finding octopuses or octopi or whatever on coins.&nbsp; See that East Timor piece?&nbsp; The nautilus seems a little weakly struck to me, but that may just be from the photo.&nbsp; Looks interesting though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
