    should be effects Has ring translation so spoiled the SI that he can no longer distinguish the English word "blood" meaning genetics or ancestry from the similar but distinct word "blood" for a vital substance of the human body? Or is he just being flippant about the distinction?

    The horses? This if doesn't have anything to attach to, so it's probably extraneous. This clause is weird. Perhaps unless I brandished my pistols? But that doesn't feel consistent with Brother Abednego's grammar - for a hypothetical he'd presumably need a subjunctive? Maybe unless I were to...

    Although in ordinary debate to quote from a dictionary is a form of giving in, I hope that in this specific case where we are correcting word usage in prestige dialects you'll forgive me. From Merriam-Webster Online: Although effect (v.) is less common than effect (n.) or the two meanings of...

    In that case my recommendation is locals', with the apostrophe of the plural possessive. (Ideally it would be a proper U+02BC apostrophe, so localsʼ, but I do have to concede that consumer software is not there quite yet.)

    Reasonable enough, but the speaker's at least a little ambiguous and "Tia" hasn't been namechecked in three paragraphs.
