Thesaurus is a latinization of the Greek word Thesauros ergo it does not pluralize by replacing the "us" with an "i". Same mistake people make with the plural of octupus which is just boring old octopuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked it up afterwards and it seemed to be accepted, just like thesauruses. Edit: after some digging around I found out that octopi is deemed correct due to a hypercorrection, but may not be found in all dictionaries.

Sadly, because grammar is descriptive and not prescriptive, things like this will happen. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

250Integra Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 A definite blessing on the Canucks. He's not the biggest guy (obviously), but he has a huge heart, a tremendous work ethic, and some offensive flare. He will be just as good as the other smaller defensemen in the league, think Tyson Barrie, Kris Russell, Torey Krug, and others. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drakrami Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Hes got motor. He is going to blossom into a 30 point player (minimum) down the road for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reyezone Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Unreal pass to erikson for the partial breakaway Friday night against Flames. I could get used to watching that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made some moves in the Hawks game that were outstanding. He rarely misses a breakout pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stecher does have better offensive instincts for sure though. Bieksa had snarl but I seem to remember him bouncing off of a lot of players that he was trying to punish in front of the net.

Salmonberries Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I'm surprised Stecher is still wearing #51 at this stage. He wore #2 at UND and in Utica. I wonder what gives? Superstition? Waiting for WD to tell him he's 'made the team'? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
