  Marty wondered why Warren was speaking in bold and italic type, but felt prepared to offer his haph-bro a definition. "Look, spell check underlines it," Marty said. "So it 's either a new word or just another stupid spell checker fail.
     "So as I see it, the definition seems to be .... "
 
     VIROSPHERE: noun, Any space outside of the domestic space/property of humans confronting a pandemic disease by staying home.


     From The Copy Desk: Stay safe, be well.
