From a form letter about parent-teacher conferences:
"I have somethings I want to tell you."
Somethings not right here. Somethings amiss at my kids' school.
Later today, I have to buy somegroceries and cook somethingfordinner. As illustrated here, you can't just mush words together like that. True, "something" is a word, but its plural is not, unless you're spooked and are telling me, "There are a few somethings out there."
The note should have said, "I have some things I want to tell you, but we won't be discussing spelling."
