virtual is a keyword and a function-specifier. It's not a qualifier. C++ only talks about cv-qualifiers (i.e. const and volatile); the only other uses of the word qualifier refer to scope resolution prefixes (i.e. global :: and ns:: and class_name:: prefixes) in qualified ids.

'virtual' is a keyword and a qualifier. C++ is case sensitive and won't understand 'Virtual'.
