  1. The teacher asked the class to draw an octolateral shape, unfortunately one boy didn't count properly and drew a septilateral shape by mistake.
  2. My girlfriend's birthday is in September.
  3. My grandad has a bumper sticker on his car that says "I'm a septuagenarian, what's your excuse?"
  4. A heptagon is the same as a septagon, the only difference being that 'hepta' is a greek-derived prefix and 'septa' is latin-derived.
