Unnecessary Plurals

The letter S has done many great things for humanity.  It has allowed snakes to talk.  It has even saved us from reading about the Adventure of Uperman.  So why is it that some people feel the need to abuse the power(s) of the S.  Is it that perhaps people think sticking an S on the end of a word will magically make that thing multiply like the loaves and fishes?  Does it just roll off the tongue at such a rate that it can't be stopped?  Seriously, what's with all the unnecessary S's?  For instance, when you're going shopping at Safeway, don't say you're going to Safeways.  You're not going to Safeways.  You're going to one Safeway.  One.  There's no need to stop by all of them.  They all have the same stuff.  Also, if your child needs to use the restroom, please don't ask him or her if he or she needs to "go potties."  And when you're out of coins for a wishing well, don't tell your children that you're "all out of monies."  It may seem like cute baby talk, but it's actually extremely annoying and is only teaching your child bad grammar.  That child will grow up and shop at Safeways.
