[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I don’t understand – how can there be many kinds of a singular form? How can there be a few of a singular form?

Even when I replace “Atom” with “indivisible” it sounds quirky. When I use “indivisibles” it sounds much better in my opinion.

Where is the comment you’ve added?

Thanks Eli!

Stefan did fix it.  But I reverted the fix, because the original
wording was not a mistake, it's correct English.  I added a comment
there explaining why it is correct and even better than the "fixed"
one.

Thanks.
