Pulling numbers out of your ass doesn't make you right.
Oh, okay then. How about if I get as anal as you?
2,039 people a.k.a "thousands of", understood the wording except a negligible minority barely exceeding a dozen (I'm being generous here and counting the 9 votes on Nixy's reply as individual people separate from the four other commenters, for a total of 13 people).
I feel like this didn't work in your favor.
(I obviously wrote 'chose' in error. There's a major difference between mistakenly using confusing grammar and intentionally doing so.)
If we're still being anal, you intentionally didn't proof read.
