When Krankor had first written the anthem, he showed it to me and asked me
if I could find the grammar-error. He knew it was there from day one,
don't think he missed it. It was deliberately put there, for a subtle
tongue-in-cheek-ness you sort of have to hear spoken. He also knew it
would be tough to find... as you have demonstrated. :)
