why ask a question like this in a message board when you can find the answer in 5 seconds on google?

[Caruso329]

why waste 20 seconds posting a rhetorical question when you could've just kept your mouth shut?

Oh, and baby. What you're looking at is the verb cat, not the plural form of the noun cat. And maybe I'm just blind, but this is the only thing I see on dictionary.com's page.

Well, lettuce is like mustard. You don't have mustards, you have more mustard. You have more heads of lettuce or more lettuce.

[Kramerica]

He said head

[Caruso329]

But say I have a salad using green lettuce, romaine lettuce, and iceberg lettuce. Does that salad have three lettuce or three lettuces? I know you could just change the question to "Does that salad have three types of lettuce?", but let's ignore that fact for a second. For some reason, this is really bothering me.

It's lettuces and viruses, though internet junkies want viri, or virii.

[beachguy in thongs]

In the English language, the plural of virus is viruses.

The words viri and virii are also used by some as if they were plural forms of "virus", although less frequently. Some users of the Internet feel these forms should be considered correct. No major printed dictionary includes them as correct forms.

One of the earliest records of the modern European lettuce was in a piece by Lucas van Valkenborch who showed clear depictions of modern butterhead lettuces in his piece 'Allegory of Summer'. Although it is certain that this type existed well before the artist's death in 1597.

Commonly recognized types of lettuce include:

* Iceberg lettuces form tight, dense heads that resemble cabbage. They are generally the mildest of the lettuces, valued more for their crunchy texture than for flavor. Varieties of iceberg lettuce are the most familiar lettuces in the USA. The name Iceberg comes from the way the lettuce was transported in the US in the 1930s. It was transported on trainwagons all covered in crushed ice - making it look like icebergs.
* Crisphead lettuces form moderately dense heads with a crunchy texture; this type is intermediate between iceberg and looseleaf types.
* Looseleaf
* Romaine, also called cos is a head-forming type with elongated leaves.
* Butterhead, also called Boston or bibb forms loose heads; it has a buttery texture.
* Batavia is similar to butterhead.
* Chinese lettuce types generally have long, sword-shaped, non-head-forming leaves, with a more bitter and robust flavor than Western types, appropriate for use in stir-fried Stir frying is a common Chinese cooking technique used because of its fast cooking speed. Cantonese restaurant patrons judge the chefs by their "wok qi" (their ability to bring out the qi of the wok, which shows in the food as the look, smell, and taste).

A traditionally round-bottom iron pan called a wok is heated to a very high temperature.
