In the English language, the standard plural of virus is viruses. This is
the most frequently occurring form of the plural, and refers to both a
biological virus and a computer virus.

The less frequent variations viri and virii are virtually unknown in edited
prose, and no major dictionary recognizes them as alternative forms. Their
occurrence can be variously attributed to hypercorrection formed by analogy
to Latin plurals such as alumni or false analogy to Latin plurals such as
radii; idiosyncratic use as jargon among a group, such as computer hackers;
and deliberate word play, such as on BBSs (see, e.g.: leet).

To complicate matters further, viri is already used in Latin as the plural
of vir, meaning "man" (thus making viri mean "men")

Once there was an elephant,
Who tried to use the telephant--
No! no! I mean an elephone
Who tried to use the telephone--
(Dear me! I am not certain quite
That even now I've got it right.)

Howe'er it was, he got his trunk
Entangled in the telephunk;
The more he tried to get it free,
The louder buzzed the telephee--
I fear I'd better drop the song
Of elephop and telephong!)

Old habits die hard. I also use the terms termini and radii. And I rarely
ever use the term vir any longer. I used to work for a civil engineering
firm. Deeds would often say "et vir" or "et ux" (or "et uxor") for "and
husband" or "and wife". I did A LOT of deed research back in the days before
the county had everything on computers.

But why would "virii" (which is so wrong on so many levels) be an "old
habit"?

It's the term I've used. I've also been know to say "outen the lights" or
"red up the house". Doesn't make them right - it's just what I'm used to.

Sorry, JoAnn. I must correct your Latin.

Virus, in Latin, is a masculine noun, and thus becomes viri (single "i"
ending) in plural. For it to have double "i" plural, it would need to have
the singular form "--ius", as in "radius".

However, in English, the "--es" plural ending should be used - thus viruses.
Similarly, a university or college may have a number of campuses rather than
campi and certainly never campii.

Other than that, your advice is, as always, exemplary!

Patricius .... errrr .... Paddy

Actually, "virus" is not a second-declension noun in Latin; it is fourth. As
Tom pointed out, "viri" is the plural of "vir."

Hmmm. Indeed. That would make the plural "virus", and still not "virii".

Still, gotta watch those free font downloads, as JoAnn said! :-)

as

word

the

Default Free Fonts

And here I thought that 14 messages on a "free fonts" question
would result in lots of free font information. sigh.

Sorry, JoAnn. I must correct your Latin.

Virus, in Latin, is a masculine noun, and thus becomes viri (single "i"
ending) in plural. For it to have double "i" plural, it would need to have
the singular form "--ius", as in "radius".

However, in English, the "--es" plural ending should be used - thus viruses.
Similarly, a university or college may have a number of campuses rather than
campi and certainly never campii.

Other than that, your advice is, as always, exemplary!

Patricius .... errrr .... Paddy
