What is the plural of octopus?
It's a trick question. Octopus is already plural. Monopus is singular.
People is already plural, too, but you can talk about all the peoples
of the world. Also, I can use "people" as the subject and "is" as the
verb, just to completely destroy any chance of a simple grammar parser
being able to cope with English.

I'm simple and I cope (somehow) with English.
