^ It's true.

Most people just slap on the -i ending on most words that end in -us, but that's a latin rule. And even then, most Latin derived words can still end in -uses. Like virus = viruses, campus = campuses, chorus = choruses, cactus = cacti (cactuses is also accepted in English), octopus = octopi (which is ill-considered; the correct ones being octopuses or octopodes), and hiatus = hiatuses. Semantics really.

Only really use the -i suffix on words if a respectable source uses it as such, otherwise, the suffixes -s and -es are generally used.
