The tomato has been brought back from the verge of extinction at least three times since it was first domesticated.

Either the question is wrong or the answer is wrong. Tomato is not a vegetable.

I remember learning this in university in Latin class. lol The suffix -i is the plural form of masculine singular -us. So people mistakenly assumed that the plural of octopus was octopi because it ended in -us.

But the suffix of octopus is not masculine singular. -pus is the suffix for foot. Octo-pus means eight-footed. The correct plural of -pus is podes. So you have octopodes and duck-billed platypodes. I have gotten into arguments in bars over this. :fencing:

In fact, the pus in octopus comes from the greek pod/pous, meaning foot. The greek plural is podes. The plural of octopus in modern english is octopuses.

Fair enough smarty pants. :tea: But that's just because the wimps at the OED gave in. Just kidding...one of the first rules in Linguistics is that nothing is ever 'wrong'. It is all based on popular usage.
