Hi writers,
I hope we never have to say or hear or read the word virus more than we have in 2020. For some of us it's a daily consideration. Others of us have tried to ignore or deny it, but even then, it's almost impossible to escape.
But there are plenty of viruses/virusses/vira/viri/virii other than COVID-19, and most of have plenty of experience with them.
That time as a kid when a virus kept you home from school and you hallucinated (or was it real?) that your house was overrun with giraffes.
That time a trojan horse invaded your computer and wiped everything out, including the masterpiece novel you were on the very last line of.
Or, yes, that time when that thing happened in 2020 and had x, y, and z effects on you.
How have viri affected your life? And which is your favored plural form of the five(!) possibilities?
