- "One in x are" error
(One| one|1) in( every)? (two|three|four|five|six|seven|eight|nine|ten|eleven|twelve|(thir|four|fif|six|seven|eight|nine)teen|twenty|[0-9]+) [a-zA-Z ]+ are- Should be replaced with one in x is (or one in every N things is), because the subject is one, which is by definition singular. However, it could also be taken as a percentagelike unit, and in such case it should either be left in the plural or (preferably) replaced with an actual percentage (e.g. "One in eight ... are" → "12.5% of ... are").
