How often is that word even used? ... why not call it the meat processor? lol.

@dafyre that takes all the artistry out of it!!! I challenge you to try some real Iberico ham and call it "processed"!

Perhaps butcher would have been better word than meat processor... But it still has to go through a process to be made ready for cooking.
I'd love to try some though.

Fine charcuterie is one of life's greatest pleasures. 5/5, highly recommended, would eat again. If you're ever near Decatur, go to the Iberian Pig.

Sounds like most of the small towns around here. Pass 3-4 houses at an intersection, and you've probably just passed an official town (Swiss, Charm, and Stillwell all come to mind.)

The Latin plural of virus: viri.
The plural of virus is either virus or vira in Classical Latin, probably virus since second declension neuter had the same plural and singular, but in Vulgar Latin since all other neuter nouns in all other declensions was -us -> -a, people probably would've said vira.
In Modern Latin, i.e. the non-original Latin which has been in use since the early modern period and has standardisation for science, maths, etc, the plural for virus is vira.
So either classical, vulgar, mediaeval, or modern you'd either say virus or vira, never viri. In fact a general rule is that -i form -us originates only for genitive singular neuter (exceptions exist), so:
- computatori viri = the computer's virus
- computatorium virum = the computer virus (as a compound noun)
Virii or viri is never plural, anywhere unless you're using it as the plural genitive for a male human (viri canis, the men's dog). Plus also in English it's simply "viruses," for the same reason you say colosseums, not colossei when using that plural.

Axe is missing from the Google Chrome dictionary.
A 3 letter word.... like what the crap.

That's very popular body spray, even in Europe!

There's also things like the axe that you would use to chop wood.

Oh well yeah, there are always obscure uses of words.

You should have been proud of me... I used the European spelling of it... Would you rather me use the Americanized version of it? 8-P

An axe is still an invaluable tool to any farmer or outdoorsman. Sure a chainsaw is better for chopping and trimming trees, but an axe is portable and gets the job done when you only need to use it on occasion.
