To the Grammar Sheriff:

Please let me off with just a stern warning this time.  Please
do not publish a citation on the list advising everyone that you
find proper and due cause to accuse me of violating the law
mandating agreement in number (to wit: whether singular or plural)
between subject and predicate in the particular case involving my
most recent post.  I am certain that you and others on this list
are not going to let a crime such as this to go unnoticed.  I
surely do hope the citizens do not feel that I should be prosecuted
to the full extent of the law.  My record of prior offenses would
not indicate that I am such an incorrigible sociopath as to require
confinement in a corrections facility.  It was not a flagrant and
deliberate violation designed to challenge authority.  It was only
a stupid mistake.  I wasn't paying attention.  I am sorry and I
promise to dedicate more attention to detail the next time.

Sam Heywood
