JdeBPYou get to burn less of the group after Rob Watts has weighed in.
Especially as, even today and despite that 'years' is both countable and plural (either of the two non-equivalent forms of the supposed rule), you won't find people saying that Robert Baker only made up the rule from whole cloth *fewer* than 400 years ago.

Ja, die Grundidee war eine Rückkehr zu den jüdischen Namen.
