What’s the Plural of Virus?

15:31:33 :: [technology &c.] :: 86 words

With all of the viruses going around lately, this vaguely amused me. Kinda like Mouse, Mice, Mouses. Customers come into Circuit City and try to get me to laugh at their Mouse, Mice, Mouses humor, but it’s so old… ::sigh:: I hate customers.

The plural of virus is neither viri nor virii, nor even vira nor virora. It is quite simply viruses, irrespective of context. Here’s why.

Enjoy.
