We, the undersigned, are concerned speakers of the English language who urge the publishers of Websters Third New International Dictionary to officially recognize Walri as the plural form of the Walrus. The current plural form of the word Walrus Walruses is a tired word and does not lend itself well to formal discussion of this majestic creature. We as speakers of the English language feel that a group of two or more Walrus should be officially recognized as Walri
