Let's be pedantic and expand the discussion to how latin names are
handled in modern languages.
Fort exemple in French, a typiqual romane langouage, oui youze ze
French roulz fort pluralle and adde an 's' when zere isn't aule-reddi
oouanne ;-)
so "virus" is unchanged when there are many of them.
In French, one discussion "forum" becomes : several discussion
"forums" and not : fora.
