I'm including Meta in Trilogy.
Is there a more accurate term? (Quadrilogy?)

2Accurate in the sense that "octopodes" is the more accurate plural of "octopus", yes. That is, not in any sense that people actually use.– ベレアー アダムCommented Dec 9, 2009 at 2:33

I meant accurate in describing the sites. (perhaps family)– SLaksCommented Dec 9, 2009 at 2:34

3Your question now is worse than before. It's like you've only just started using SO. What's going on with the users of late?– randomCommented Dec 9, 2009 at 2:42

2Adam - no idea personally, but did dig this out (From Cambridge Guide to English Usage): octopuses, octopi, octopodes. Currently, octopuses is the most common form in the US as well as the UK; octopodes is rare, and octopi is often objectionable.– IzzyCommented Dec 9, 2009 at 2:52

2Do not use apostrophes to indicate plural. Because apostrophe does not indicate plural. Apostrophe cannot indicate plural. Not even a greengrocer can use it to indicate plural. Ule çòrrùpt thè Èñglïsh læñgüägé größl¡. Commented Dec 9, 2009 at 7:09
