[Mesorah] How widespread is ignorance of Hebrew?

So the versions do indeed have a good basis.  Not at all a bad proof.

"Mandel, Seth" <mandels at ou.org> stated the following:

Well, not if you note that the Minha text (often) has Shabb'tot 
(occasionally Shabbatot) to go along with vam.  Shabbat does not go 
grammatically with vam.  But far be it from me to refer to such usage 
as ignorance.

BTW, I would certainly prefer that the word "ignorance" in the 
Subject line be replaced.  And that the standard rules of 
transliteration be employed.  (Academia or Library of Congress.)
