Actually it has to do with the root of the words. Latin end in I (fungi) while greek end with es (octopuses)

or something like that...

But that sure sounds funny. 🙂

I got 7 Benzi in the dealership. lol

in latin, the ending depends on many things, like whether the word is masculine, feminine, or neuter, and whether it is nominative, ablative, etc. damn i forgot all that stuff...
