> Oh, plurals can also be an issue too. So what are you supposed to do about that? "My car has four wheel"? Or "my car has one wheel here and one wheel here and one wheel here and one wheel here"? (Oh no, too long - make that four separate sentences.) If your readers can't cope with English plurals, how can they cope with verb tenses, participles and possessives? Do you also keep everything to the present tense? I'm used to being told to write for an audience with minimal technical understanding, but my mind boggles at the idea of writing for someone who's freaked by the idea that things can occur more than one at a time!!
