I agree that I brought up the word "manuscript" since something like a
term-paper or a dissertation might frequently
be called by that term, and I thought that the derivation from the Latin
would be of interest. To those interested in
language, it might be noted that "manus" even tho it has a masculine ending,
is feminine, not only in Latin, but in
Italian, (la mano) French, and even in the non-Romance language, German (die
Hand).
I do love a little lightly spread pedantry!
so how do you guys pluralize 'virus'?
