Dude:

Why would anyone want a glider named after a disease or a body cavity?



You'll get over it when you see how nice these aircraft are, and learn
to pronounce the name correctly.

I must help a little on the education front - Words mean different things in
different languages.
They used "Sinus" as in "Sine" on the certification papers - can't translate the
name now...
Where "Virus" comes from I do not know, but assume some Slovenian speaker can help.

They have now learned and called their new two seater the Taurus.
