Can you confirm our impression that the adjective is almost always in the plural (except where we've changed it)?
More specifically, if we're going to standardize having the adjective always be in the plural, can we check for all instances where the singular form is used as an adjective (if any exist)? And regardless which way we go on adjective use, I'm sure there are enough cases where Joe uses the plural noun as a singular that we'll have to change.
