When you have a lot of them, you'd say "Look at all of those kilts" but when referring to it, but asking a person if they wear them, you don't say "Do you wear kilts?" you say "Do you wear the kilt?"
At least, that's how I think of it.
Right on, bp---it's all a matter of context and precise meaning and refusing to yeild the high ground to the adamantly ignorant (such as those who refuse to believe that "chad" is already plural, the singular being "a piece of chad").
Asking "Do you wear kilts?" is asking if you wear several of them simultaneously --- ludicrous.

Please forgive my extended silence---I've been having horendous hardware problems aggregated by just not keeping track of what I've been doing.
If real estate value is all a matter of location, location, location I think software success is largely a matter of continuity, continuity, continuity . . .
