    I don't know.

    However, I do know that the number of people who think that the word "license" is plural is staggering.

    I was 100% sober. See, I'm better when I'm stoned. 


    I think I was on my "I'm going to say 'I don't know' to everything to prove I'm not a know-it-all" kick. 

    And, as long as I can remember, I've encountered people who refer to their driver's license as 'them', as if they're saying "licenses". It's just a personal grammar pet peeve of mine, I guess. Make a note of it in my file.

      I’ve never heard of that particular way of people referring to their licenses. 

      How are you on “PIN number” at the “ATM machine”, and “VIN number“ on a car.  These drive me absolutely up the wall. Don’t even get me started on “supposebly”.   Aaaaarrrrrrggggghhhh!

    It's bothered me since I was 15 or 16.
    "My license are about to expire. I've got to get them renewed." Them?? How many driver's licenses do you have? Or, are you going to get your gun and fishing licenses renewed, too? 

    I'm guilty on PIN and VIN. I shall adjust that immediately. What a freaking IDIOT I've been! UGH and DOH! 

    There's another one like supposebly that is the worst. I'll think of it next time I'm high.

    Jimmying a lock

    As a straight edge for drawing

    As ID (e.g. to purchase alcohol)

    To scare off crows (no, not with the picture, but the reflectiveness) 

    To scratch that hard to reach itch

    Credit check. I take people's licence numbers for that all the time.
