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

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

          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?

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