Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong.

It is one word, not a hyphenated compound, so to pluralize it, the -s goes on the end.
I wasn't giving it the respect of being an actual word. I thought it was 2 words joined in use, or with a hyphen. The rules listed there apply to non-hyphenated constructions as well.
If several million remedial english parents, elementary school teachers and Dr. Phil types want to further pollute the language, so be it.

When a Ref says, "Time Out" it sure sounds like two separate words to me. He is referring to the "Time". Ergo, therefore, it's one Time Out, 2 Times Out, and 3 Strikes, Yer Out!!!!.:ROTF: Sports talk, is that one fukking word or -, has butchered the language.I am a true ass set to this board.
