You mean "viruses". There is no such word "virii" in either English
or Latin.


There is *now*. Since the word "virii" has been in common enough use


Only by those who are deliberately foolish and ignorant.

for more than a few years, it's a word.

It may not be a technically *correct* word, but it's a word nonetheless.

Like bioweapon, nuke, Internet, laser, or many other fun words.


There is nothing ill-formed about any of these words.
