OT (Way of topic !) - When did "elites" become the plural of "elite" ?

This is my very first time starting an OT thread (been on the net for years) so please bear with me but . . . If I hear one more American, right wing, tv, political talking head putting down the usually left wing media "elites" instead of the "elite" I think I'm going to scream and throw a hard object at the screen. I know usages change in all langauges but "elite" is its own plural. As a "CNN, MS/NBC, CNBC" aholic I am getting completely frazzled by the very sound of it. The truly elite are disapearing and the "elites" are taking over. Idiots! Elrikk PS. My pills ought to cut in any time now. ;o)

I'm surprised that stations like CNN, MS/NBC and CNBC even allow any rightwingers on the air. I have an idea. Instead of calling them elites or elite, how about "left wing media douche bags"? Todd

What's life worth if you don't take a few risks ? ;o) The quotes were just there to hilight the sarcasm but thanks for the warning. Fox lawyers probably don't have time to surf the obscure corners of the net anyway. I mean I believe in the vast right wing conspiracy and all that but c'mon . . . sue me for a little joke ? Nobody would be that stupid. ;o) Elrikk

Hey, if you can sue McDonald's over getting hot coffee dropped in your lap and win beaucoup bucks, anything's possible! ;op Bob

Bear in mind bob, the plaintiffs win was over turned on appeal so instead of millions she received a 400k settlement. After lawyers I bet she actually got somewhere around 100-150k. Still allot for being dumb but not as bad as many remember.
