Hate to be that guy, but evidence has no plural. Similar words often wrongly used in plural: - advices - feedbacks - codes (when referring to source code) - moneys - datas - syntaxes

If you're going to be that guy at least be correct https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/moneys

But I am correct. :)

I didn't say a plural form doesn't necessarily exist. I said they're words that are often used wrongly in the plural.

Moneys is used specifically when it denotes different sources of income. Similar to fruits meaning a variety of different kinds of fruit, but the ordinary plural of fruit is fruit, and fishes denoting a variety of different kinds of fish, but the ordinary plural of fish is fish. "How much moneys does this cost "is obviously as wrong as "how much fruits / fishes did you buy".

Same with codes, you can talk about "nuclear codes" but not "morse codes" or "source codes".

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Nobody believes you. Your track record is trash and I was happy to cancel all services and never pay you anymore money.

You can't attack others like that on HN, regardless of how right you are or you feel you are. Please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and don't post like this again. You may not feel you owe your target better, but you owe this community much better if you're participating in it. The damage this sort of poison causes to the ecosystem greatly exceeds any benefits it may have.

Your contrast is visible. Your poison actually hurts people. You don't care who it impacts so long as people are polite/police.

S/swiss// The problem capitalist consumers have is conflating product marketing features and corporate objective statements with their own prerogatives. No corporation will ever at the users behest break a law that could impact a quarterly earnings statement.

I'm not sure if I entirely understand the point you're making, but this sentence confuses me: Isn't this explicitly not the fault of capitalism, but instead government interference?
