Well, Shame on Me[ Parent | Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#67)

I guess that I am going to violate my own attempt to end this thread. While I was right, I was also wrong about the word "virus". I cannot just leave it at that. After a more careful search, I definitely agree with Anonymous User (#53) that virus is a common noun and its plural is actually formed by adding "es". But, what is interesting is that the word virucide, while both correct and accepted, is not the preferred spelling. The preferred spelling is viricide! Go figure! Don't believe me? Check it out for yourself.

Now I'm finished. I am not even going to look at this thread again. I might find something else that I want to be half-right about.
