"atheist", "scientist" used as plurals - wtf? If it ends in "-ist" you don't have to add the "S"?

Looks like another spelling class might be necessary..

For the same reason people pose their questions as abbreviations, with all kinds of bad spelling, like "Ppl plz hlp i hv 2 go 2 daktor for a fluu sht. i don't like pane what shud i do?"

Now, I haven't seen this specific question yet, but this is very typical of questions I see both here, and in Computers.

It makes my eyes hurt, and I feel like throwing up all over the keyboard when I see a question like this! (And I tell them to learn to spell, and quit using abbreviations.

But, ICU8DBBQ.I8sm2 ;-}

I don't get what you mean

are you saying the plural of scientist is scientist?

because if so you are wrong.. I googled it to make sure I wasnt going insane and apparently the plural of scientist in fact scientists

probably because it is easier to say, but it is incorrect. when you spell "atheist" or "scientist" and it's plural you have to add an "S", but when you are talking it sometimes sounds like you are not adding the "s" because it is easier to say. for example when i say " Look how many texts I have" I usually don't say "texts" I say "text" because it is easier to say. :-)

Maybe they struggled with grammar lessons during childhood.

Come to think of it, I myself got an F in English two years ago, when I was in class 9.

Come on now, it is not fair to christians to hold them to the same standards of grammatical correctness.

it doesn't really matter, but i do add an S to the end when i talk about Atheists

I know I do it sometimes, and that's because I got that great Catholic school education, they cared more about teachin me the bible then grammar, Lol

Hail the dark lord Lucifer in all his glorious wisdom and light.

May the darkness rain upon us.

Because those who speak this way are all home schooled by semi-literate Fundie parents.
