Might sound snarky but really just curious (and I'm older ;)

Are we close to standardizing on pluralization in English into 's and 'es?

octopuses instead of octopi fishes instead of fish aquariums instead of aquaria

media and mediums diverged a long time ago, but it seems as though the last few years has seen a dramatic shift

oh good golly, a better question might be: how often do you read your own post and realized you already know the answer :)

From what I've read, the "us" at the end of octopus isn't Latin, but Greek, so if you want to split hairs, it would be "octopodes".
