Kyle, Actually, I never meant to dismiss your point. It's just that there are standards and there are habits and sometimes it takes very long for the first to overcome the latter if ever (Just have a look as the use of SI units). But never mind you didn't start this thread and Jim probably approached the topic much to 'biological' and we all have a choice, and no matter whether we choose 'virii' or 'viruses' (my spellchecker complains only about 'virii' :-)), everybody knows what we are talking about.
BTW. I have always appreciated you excellent expert knowledge on this list and would be last to try to argue with you. :-) Hannes > From: Kyle Hansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (G-Books) > Date: Sun, 07 Jul 2002 23:14:48 -0700 > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (G-Books) > Subject: Re: "virii" (OT) > > I love McAfee.
