By the way, there's no such word as "viri", and people who refer to
"viri" put themselves firmly in a group that you possibly don't want to
be seen as being a member of.
Have you consulted your favorite Latin dictionary in this matter? The word
"viri" exists and has the (not too harmless) meaning: "men". But I agree in
one aspect: I wouldn't like to be seen as an Ancient Roman ;-P

Need proof? Let's ask one resource sometimes regarded as reliable and
sometimes not :-D ...

Cheers,

Oliver

PS: Yes, the word "virus" stems from the Latin language, thus it is correct
to look it up in a Latin dictionary ;)
