Hi Carlton,
I'm all in favor of making the strongest argument possible. But I think it's a mistake to say "Our brief, apparently, is to advocate for the barely attentive end user." "Barely attentive" assumes that the user would have any reason to suspect that the plural of something that he remembers as singular is something entirely different.
....even with a faultless memory, I would rather think at this point the user is committed to an action. Get it done and see the result. Then, respond as best as you can.
If I see
plum.org, and the actual name is
plums.org, will it occur to me that there's a difference?
presence of mind, maybe not! But one could look see....
I beg leave to doubt it. It's not that I can't see the difference (part of my job is proofreading, after all). It's just that there is no particular reason to think that the difference is important in this context. Users generally are simply not paranoid enough to be suspicious of these things.
..and we should not wish them to be! Ordinarily, I posit the journey of discovery could be a learning experience.
