Remind me why I wanted rain?
In article , Franz Heymann
writes "Jaques d'Alltrades" wrote in message ... The message from "Franz Heymann" contains these words: My mistake. I was thinking of both virii and spammed email. pedant Virus is a collective noun. One solitary influenza virus may be inspected under the electron microscope.microscope. Granted, I don't know whether an influenza and a legionnaire'd disease virus lying side by side should be referred to as a pair of viruses or a pair of virii. (On the assumption that the legionnaire's disease thingy is indeed a virus at all) It wouldn't be virii anyway, would it? That'd be the plural of virius. -- Kay Easton Edward's earthworm page: http://www.scarboro.demon.co.uk/edward/index.htm |
