- chrisseaton 6y agoIt's not wrong to use British English. People using it don't need to be corrected to use American English.
- frosted-flakes 6y agoSo why are you trying to make a counter-correction?
- chrisseaton 6y agoI'm not telling them to use a plural. I'm telling them that people who use a plural aren't doing so out of ignorance and don't need to be corrected as if they're making a mistake.
