Duhhh...possums? Sloths? Duck-billed platipus? There's a bootleg Phish album with tracks called "The Sloth" and "Possum". Can you smell the desperation from over there?Barnadine wrote:What's all this about, then?...

There doesn't appear to be a consensus on whether the plural ends '-i', or '-uses', but there is a clear consensus that it's spelled with a y - 'platypus'!The Fex wrote:Platipi.Blank_Frank wrote:Duhhh...possums? Sloths? Duck-billed platipus?

Yeah! And I checked (kind of):hakey wrote:There doesn't appear to be a consensus on whether the plural ends '-i', or '-uses', but there is a clear consensus that it's spelled with a y - 'platypus'!The Fex wrote:Platipi.Blank_Frank wrote:Duhhh...possums? Sloths? Duck-billed platipus?
Take that Mr. English teacher!Wikipedia wrote:There is no universally agreed plural of "platypus" in the English language. Scientists generally use "platypuses" or simply "platypus". Colloquially the term "platypi" is also used for the plural, although this is technically incorrect and a form of pseudo-Latin;[3] the correct Greek plural would be "platypodes" or "platypoda".
(All of which would've sounded much more impressive if I'd spelt it with a 'y'.)

Who said anything about the platypus? The plural of 'platipus' is 'platipi'. There.

(Or should that be "holyness"?

Sorry, folks. That was a probably a bit obscure and sleep-deprived.
I'm expecting a bit of negativity before we get the answer.
Nine album titles in there. Not in chronological order. I've cheated a bit, but once you get it you'll know you're right. Don't overthink it.Barnadine wrote:What's all this about, then?...
