The plural of Virus

CHOMP!!! You got bitten by the last-character-in-link-gets-chopped-off bug!

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

[PIEBALDconsult]

Oh hand me the Kleenices. "Virii" is bad enough, but what really peeves me is the use of "penii". X|

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I agree with you on that.. :cool:

Let's just hope you never find yourself needing to know anything about more than one octopus.

Thou mewling ill-breeding pignut!

What the hell sort of parties do you go to ?

[Lost User]

The whole thing is silly, really, isn't it? I mean, the singular of "us" is "i" not the other way around

[Chris Maunder]

Fun fact of the Day: A group of octopus, or octopodes, is called a consortium.

Singular 'Virus' is enough to cause damage. It's like shooting twice with .45 ;)

Good point there. But, is not always like that. For example, the word 'alumnus' is singular, and 'alumni' is its plural form. I don't know if this one has a connection, but 'Us' and 'I' are pronoun. ;)

So... Would a number of groups of octopi be a consortia?

I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Entropy isn't what it used to.

Well that would be wrong even if you were being a classical dick about it, it would be 'viri'.
