The whale was annoyed. It made it's annoyance quite clear. If it wanted the trainer dead, the trainer would be dead. Not even Aquaman could have saved him. :p

But it is such a cute and cuddly killer.

Cetatians are revolting. Actually they're just mildly unpleasant.

Dolphins are very smart and dangerous, thats why they dont have legs, if they do, dolphins would make us do tricks and jump up for our dinner

It's either "genuses" or "genera." You get to choose which to use, but you have to be consistent.

"Genera" is considered the most correct, but "genuses" is generally accepted.

What he/she/it said -- sorta. "Genera" isn't "more correct," though (What the hell would that mean anyway? Something's either correct, or it's not.), just preferred.

Um...the whale bit really, since, as has already been noted, it's not really a whale. :p

Actually, there is no differentiating degree of "correctness" between non-Anglo and Anglo plurals in English - one can always pluralise with "-s" or "-es" and never be less "correct" than the person who chose to say for instance "octopodes" instead of "octopuses," or "penes" instead of "penises," or "clitoredes" instead of "clitorises," or "irides" instead of "irises," or "rhinocerotes" instead of "rhinoceroses" and so on and so on...

... there are however exceptions to all rules, in this case notably "testes, crises, psychoses" and the difference in usage between "foci" and "focuses," among others.

Clearly, we need to launch all out nuclear weapons into the oceans and seas in an effort to evaporate them, allowing us to send in our land troops and pwn the dolphins while they're out of their element.
