when people using the false plural "octopi", do they also do it for other words ending in -us for which -i is not the correct plural form?

i propose to name this field of study "autobi"-ography

in reply to wayfinder

i think the scientists have mostly given up on "octopi" (mostly because "octopodes" is also fake and "octopuses" sounds bad), but there are still folks fighting the good fight against "virii"
