 National ACLU Policy on Plural Marriage
Criminal and civil laws prohibiting the advocacy or practice of plural marriage are constitutionally defective.
The ACLU believes that criminal and civil laws prohibiting or penalizing the practice of plural marriage violate constitutional protections of freedom of expression and association, freedom of religion, and privacy for personal relationships among consenting adults.
Advocacy of plural marriage and the expression of a religious belief in plural marriage are protected by the free speech guarantee of the First Amendment even though polygamy has been declared to be criminal by states.

 Plural of virus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is the most frequently occurring form of the plural, both when referring to a biological virus and when referring to a computer virus.
In Latin virus is generally regarded to be a neuter of the second declension, but neuter second declension nouns ending in -us (rather than -um) are so rare that there are no recorded plurals.

The coffee shop owner could not have avoided the plural because it was a box of thermae he had lent out for some social or business function, and the instruction was to the organizers of the event to return them all to him in that box.
This has confused English-speakers who encounter words nativized from Greek.
