It's idiomatic only because people have passively automatically kept
following it because of some strange reasons.  I don't want to help
continue this irrational idiom.  But, I will drop the "S", because I
don't want to waste time arguing about it and because I can blame it on
others.

(Maybe I should join a religion; that's idiomatic too (metaphorically).
Also, I think from now on I'll drop the last "s" from every word I write
which should have it.)
