Why is the word virii so prevalent? Its not a real word !!

Good question. Why do people always put looser instead of loser?

Because virii sounds cool and sexy.
It's all fun and games until a 200' robot dinosaur shows up and trashes Neo-Tokyo... Again.

I think that makes it a real word.  What makes you think it isnt?

The official plural is viruses, which may be contrary to popular belief.
