On one of the PuTTY feature pages, it used "BIOI" for what was apparently the plural of "BIOS".

Took me a second before I figured out what they were referring to and that it was most likely not a typo but a "classicism"(?). Amusing :)

But of course.

Thanks for pointing that out, though; I wouldn't have thought of that word.

However: viruses. (Not viri, virii, virora, virūs, or any other such self-made word.)

Oh yes, I am very aware of "viruses".

Please, feel free to share "kleenices" with your family and friends. I feel just that strongly about it.

I forgot to mention "spatulae", of which I was reminded when shopping in kitchen stores today.
