By the way, the ill-informed lucubrations of a Slashdot writer to
the contrary, there is no such word as "virii". The plural of this
English word is "viruses". (The word was borrowed and redefined
from the Latin word virus = slime, poison, or venom. In Latin,
that is a 2nd declension neuter noun, whose nominative plural form
is now unclear, since it seems that nobody ever used one -- and it
doesn't appear to work like either a standard "-us" or "-um" noun,
whose plural behaviours are known. In other words, it doesn't have
a Latin plural, possibly because it was a mass noun rather than a
countable one.)
Silly thing to get 80 out of office messages for *sigh*
