That is easier than handing a clerk a banknote?
- macintux 4y agoEasier than waiting in line for 20 minutes with who knows what virii circulating.
- pezezin 4y ago"Virii" means "men": https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/vir#Latin https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/vir#Latin
- gjm11 4y agoActually, the plural of "vir" is "viri"; Latin "virus" doesn't really have a plural but if it did it might be "via"; "virii" isn't the plural of anything; if it were, it would be of "virius" which I'm pretty sure isn't a Latin word at all. (If there were an adjective "virus" its comparative would have "virius" as one of its forms, but it wouldn't become "virii" in the plural, and in any case I don't think there is any such adjective.)
- pezezin 4y agoWiktionary shows it has "virī", with a long i. I guess the double i is just a way to write the long i when you don't have macrons at hand, but I have never studied Latin, so I don't really know.
