To clarify, my pretend anger is merely for humor's sake; and it is not directed at people whose first language is not English. I'll always respect the hard work of learning a new language. I'm studying Spanish myself. It's not easy.

How is the usage of "gears" to refer to "gear" slang? It's not like pronouncing "garbage" with a soft g as in the classic dad joke. "Garbazh."

Anyway, people who are learning English and people who just don't know any better will be led astray by misuse of the word "gears" to refer to "gear," which is already a kind of plural noun just like "armor" and "water" and "equipment."

Oh man, "loots" is also misused...painfully. hehe [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] If you got one item, you got loot. If you got two items, you got loot. Only bards should be talking about lutes!
