Huh, after reading Dsarker strike down the word "octopi" I checked it myself.

The proper term is "octopuses"

Nothing makes sense anymore.

What.

By the way, I will always use Pegasus Ponies. That seems like a brilliant way to avoid conflict.

VG cats was one of the first places I heard about ponies, actually. He took down the first comic he made referencing it (was a CMC one), though.

Season two will involve a full episode were Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle argue over correct grammar and spelling. Twilight will argue it's full-time importance, and Pinkie will argue the unimportance of it in casual situations.

I am fairly sure it’s “octopodes”.

Well, it's official. The ponies have infiltrated just about everything.

Now for it to hit mainstream media.

I'd consider Stephen Colbert and Diablo 3 to be pretty mainstream too.

So yeah, ponies everywhere.

Okay. Let's get something straight, people.

THE PLURAL OF PEGASUS IS PEGASOI. IT IS NOT PEGASI. THAT'S LIKE SAYING THE PLURAL OF OCTOPUS IS OCTOPI. IT IS NOT. IT IS NOT NOW, NOR HAS IT EVER BEEN THE CASE. IT IS A GREEK SECOND DECLENSION NOUN OF THE FIRST TYPE. THAT MEANS THE PLURAL IS +oi, NOT +i. +i IS LATIN SECOND DECLENSION MASCULINE. NOT GREEK. SO PLEASE USE THE PROPER ENDINGS.

Given that the show is in English I don't see how any of this is relevant.

inb4 Fox claims ponies are racist.

Saying that ponies are racist is probably actually more plausible than that video, given that the main characters seem to have some kind of problem with the idea of miscegenation:
