All of us who speak colloquial English have totally missed our chance to make "bear my beer" a thing.
I mean, if you wanted the holder of your beer to provide entertainment as well, you could even say, "Bear bare my beer."

We could all stand to be a bit more creative with our words.

The #EnglishLanguage is #NotFitForPurpose.
With both multiples (2 and more), huge numbers, and entire categories all being designated by the same plural form.

"Australians are catching Covid."
"Australians break the law if they join ISIS."The Lowey's claim is doubtless true at some level. And with #Murdoch's #SkyNews pumping out #FoxNews type crap the sad fact is that, over some time period there are probably more fools made
