"Mens in Black" would like a word about grammar... Although I guess it doesn't matter for an "acquire and expire" target whose name wasn't publicly recognised to start with.
- samatman 5y agoNope, works is the valid plural here, consider "Department of Public Works", "By their works shall ye know them". Work is not reliably a mass noun: it makes sense to speak of a work by a particular author. In fact I suspect that's the joke in the name, "work in progress" uses the mass noun and "works in progress" uses the count noun, which is somewhat specific to creative, well, works.
- samhw 5y agoDo you think "works" is not a valid word? I can't see any other grounds for objecting to their grammar. This is quite a bizarre comment.
