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

There is *now*. Since the word "virii" has been in common enough use
for more than a few years, it's a word.


Only by those who are deliberately foolish and ignorant.


Or who don't care about silly rules that are only followed by Latin
students with nothing better to do.

English word construction rules? You must be kidding...


Of course there are. If such things didn't exist, there'd be no such
words as "construction" or "kidding".
