Speaking of phonetics, you've no doubt heard of the "Ebonics as a recognized
language" suit that came out of California a couple of years ago?

Well, it appears that the Seattle Gay & Lesbian groups are following their
lead.
They've petitioned the courts to recognize Gaelic as their "official"
language (say it out loud).
Apparently, you have to be a certified cunnilinguist to teach it...

Well, I was going to try and defend my language skills, but Paul just said
it so well... Thanks Paul.

Not from the western continents are we?!?!? Well can't blame them really as
Microsoft doesn't seem to cater for it either. Regardless of the dictionary
you use, MS Word still thinks Virii is not valid.

Well, tomato, tomaatoe, potato, potaatoe (sorry, phonetics doesn't carry
well in the written form)

Cheers

Try telling that to a medical (or classics) professor.

The plural for 'virus' is 'virii'. Common US slang terms the plural as
'viruses'.  Dictionaries are often incorrect, especially when they bow to
'common usage' without including an explanation of proper form and usage.

It is a Latin-derived word, hence the (to US minds) strange pluralization,
and all the classics professors everywhere are shuddering because of it.

Here endeth the language lesson for today.

Plural for virus is viruses. http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=virii
<-- Can't find the word http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=virus <--
Lists the plural about it. n. pl. vi*rus*es

I'm not trying to one-up you, the department I work in debated about it.
