Crazy English Language

It's no wonder people have a hard time learning english. There are no rules to follow and words are made up every day (eg, ebonics).

What's the plural of octopus? Octopi
What's the plural of cactus? Cacti
What's the plural of status? ...
What's the plural of census? ...

Maybe there is a rule behind this but I don't know it. Any english majors out there that can explain it to me?
