Remind me why I wanted rain?
"Jaques d'Alltrades" wrote in message ... The message from Kay Easton contains these words: OED "virus pl viruses" Yes - anglicised, and in the context of virus the living organism and by association, virus the destructive self-replicating computer program. However, the OED is not an authority to consult on matters of Latin grammar. I think I was the first to muddy the waters here. I know no Latin worth spitting on, and when I used the word "virus" I meant the English word. I am now happy that the plural is "viruses". Perhaps we have now all had our money's worth?
