In fact, I did learn English as a second language. Instead of trying to be an "odd individual who thinks himself clever for using the obsolete irregular form" I simply used a German plural form in my English sentence without much thinking. If anyone's offended be this I deeply apologize and promise to try much harder next time.
Hee hee! Most of the English-speaking listers are North American, and the thought that any of us would be offended by liberties with the English language after all the liberties already taken is pretty funny. Remember, words like "thru", "noize", "phat", "irregardless", and "supersize" as a verb are in common circulation in North America, so I wouldn't worry about "commata."
But I do promise to take care with any other language <I> speak, and I'm sure we all appreciate your polite apology, but I would like to assure you that it was unnecessary.
