This isn't so much of a fact as a thought. But I was thinking - in today's somewhat fractured world of gender, with pronouns and such being questioned - well, some of those nonbinary people and such are going to become teachers. But I don't suppose we would call them by "Mr." or "Ms.", so we're going to have to invent a new sort of… formal title for them, if one hasn't been invented already.

the correct plural form of octopus is technically octopuses not octopi cuz it has a greek root and not a latin one
Speaking of etymology and female anatomy, the word vanilla comes from the Latin vagina, literally 'sheath'.
