Heh. On my mission in the Philippines, some missionaries would consistently refer to "Book of Mormons," ("We're running low on Book of Mormons") which drove other grammatically-inclined missionaries up the wall. "It's 'Books of Mormon!'" they would insist. Never did convince anyone to change their habits.

Americans are lazy about pluralization anyway. For instance, nobody ever says something like "There're two guys here to see you, Bob." It's always "There's two guys..."
