In the past 2-3 months, I have encountered about 6 examples of a fatuous spelling error: Islamist, religionist, atheist, altruist, analyst, anarchist all used with plural verbs (indicating that in each case, more than one whatever-ist was meant), yet lacking an "s" at the end. Now, it is true that a certain group can't for the life of them make certain sounds properly ("axe" instead of "ask"), and this group also has tremendous trouble pronouncing the plural of words ending in "st," but WHY on earth this has become a widespread accepted (?) spelling is beyond me.
I am fed up with idiotic memes taking hold and spreading thru the populace like the Black Plague.
