The noun for "man" is vir, and isn't the root for the word "virus". So,
you'd talk about "One vir, several viri"? I think not. The word "virus"
means "poison", and the latin plural doesn't exist, because it's a mass
noun, like "helium".
I didn't say anything else, I just mentioned that the word "viri" exists,
while you said before *the word* doesn't exist.

But you go ahead and continue using the word "viri", clearly you do want 
to be in the group of people using that word, despite what it tells 
everyone about how 1337 you are. 
Huh? I wasn't the one using the word "viri" initially, check the thread
history ;-)

Cheers,

Oliver
