The WTF NSFW thread

I'd have thought rights of way, but I think right of ways is also a thing - they have slightly different meanings iirc.

[eta]ah, according to wiktionary, right of ways does get used in specific circumstances, but is generally considered an error:

The plural "rights of way" can be used for all senses. The alternative plural "right of ways" is generally used only when referring to an easement or a physical stretch of land, and may be regarded as an error.

It make sense, since the thing being categorised is the right not the way ('of way' is a description of the right).

Fuck 'em, a right-of-way is the same as a road, stream, street, runway and multiples add an S.
If people can use irregardless, then damnit, I can use right-of-ways.
