I found this online petition that might change the plural form of walrus to walri. Click on the walrus to sign.

It's stupid.

Strop:

Whoever said walri has no idea when to use that plural form!

It is only ever used for nouns that are or were derived from Latin nouns of the 2nd declension, masculine. Those would invariably end in -us but not every word that ends in -us is Latin. Walrus is not a Latin word. Therefore the plural is "walruses".


Here.

Two threads too much alike, so I'm closing this one.
