Alas, I am that most unsatisfied of creatures, a pedantic
descriptivist. I am annoyed by awkward constructions but lack the
consolation of labeling them as wrong.

But then I do employ casual constructions and idiomatic expressions in
my writing (and speech) - often even in formal writing, when
appropriate for reasons of style. I was merely agreeing with John's
impulse to correct the agreement in number in his first post.
