You can always ignore it if you’re finding it a bit dull. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redruby Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I’ve found a spelling of flue (for influenza) in an old Cambridge Dictionary. If anyone wants to make the common cold sound rather more dramatic, they could also truthfully say they have coryza. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfifes Posted September 13 Author Share Posted September 13 There seems to be a lot of influenza going around at the moment. I suppose now it’s getting colder it’s time for the influenza season to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
