Plural nouns in nominal compounds @FumbleFingers, Yes, I agree with you. Thinking of it, neither Russian nor Hebrew tend to employ such compounds, so it is almost impossible to apply the rule. Both languages have different constructs for similar situations. |

Plural nouns in nominal compounds @FumbleFingers, I wouldn't count on it in other languages. For example, in Russian and Hebrew, which I speak fluently, this rule has no sense at all. |

Plural nouns in nominal compounds Why is 'student lists' correct at all? There are many students and many lists; why is it still correct to use student in singular? |

Plural nouns in nominal compounds I think that is exactly what interests me: why does 'student' sound better than 'students'? Which mechanism is involved here? Is there a generalization of this "feeling"? |

“temporal” vs. “temporary” @Tomalak, I didn't invent this definition. I'm just quoting from here. Is this source considered unreliable? Would you advise not to use it? |

“temporal” vs. “temporary” @Tomalak, of course I checked in a dictionary. But the phrase "enduring for a time only; temporary; transitory (opposed to eternal)" in the definition of temporal can be understood as if the two words are actually synonyms. |

Will grammar errors become “correct” after enough people use them for long enough? +1 for the quote :) |
