The plural of Virus

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. ;)

That kind. :cool:

You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

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'.

Don't call me Shirley.

[Lost User]

I didn't. I called Chris "Shirley"

[Corporal Agarn]

I think you need an Airplane[^] ride.

[Lost User]

No, no no no no, NO. Y'see, I SAID SHIRLEY when the meaning required was Surely - a la Airplane (aka Flying High) - so I WAS MAKING THE JOKE IN THE FIRST PLACE. (well, I say joke - it was funny when Leslie first used it)

[Corporal Agarn]

Just joking with you. :) I could have the best joke writer in the business give me a joke and it would fall flat.
