Hypercorrect Incorrect

[edit]

Why “hypercorrect”?

Wiktionary defines hypercorrect: “Incorrect because of the misapplication of a standard rule; for example, octopi used as the plural form of octopus…”

But foeti *is*, in fact, the actual Latin plural here. Either the definition of hypercorrect should be expanded, or the tag should be removed. 2601:49:C300:ED10:D0F0:EA5B:465F:15DC 06:18, 5 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
