I was not making up words.  I merely pointed out that the form
that somebody else used (and which you said was the plural of
virus) -- virii -- was wrong.  Clearly, it was an attempt to use
a Latin plural and I provided the correct Latin plural.  Nowhere
in my message did I make any statement about the English plural
form.

It's way past time to drop this thread.
