 Re: Number confusion
Hi Ed nice to "meet" you again.
Yes, people with the exception of a few have always complained about number crunching. Agreement in English grammar has also been a pitfall for mistakes and confusion. The examples you gave are intersting but what about proper nouns. As you know those ending in "y" like Harry,Mary and Betty. Is the "y" kept in plural? Common nouns are clear:
baby ....babies
boy.......boys
