What does the virus own?
To form a plural in English, on a word that ends in an "s", use
"es"; thus, "viruses". As one wag once put it:
An apostrophe does not mean, "Look out! Here comes an 's'!"
;-)
I've heard it argued that there is no Latin word "virus", and as
such, one should follow the English pluralization rules, not Latin.
