: That, my dear sir, is the result of trying to type while thinking a hundred things at once. When one is in the literary blitzkrieg (how's THAT for artistic pretension, eh?), one does not have time to slow down and analyze each word to make sure plurals go in the right places or that verb is supposed to be intransitive, or if you correctly used the nominal case.
There's never an excuse for being unneagrammatical. False leads in the search for plural people can be dangerous, no matter how you spell "potatow," and whether or not you eat them with spoons.
None of this is anything like using chewing gum to fasten one's teeth to the steering wheel to make using cell phones while driving less dangerous, but I felt I should include it anyway. As the wise man says:
But since I'm The Fool, not the wise man, saying quite a lot more than nothing is my duty and privelege. Which reminds me, have you ever noticed how much the word "quiche" sounds like "keys"? I didn't think so. Uncreative bunch, you people.
