Mac, I'll bet you're an excellent speaker of what linguists might call standard American English. And I'll bet you're not aware of thousands of variations that people use all over the world.

No one says "just to say a hello" and members should be plural.

A non-native speaker of English could miss the "s" on members, especially if their mother tongue uses verbs differently with mass nouns and count nouns than American English does.

The following are nine of the first ten google responses. The tenth one refers to this thread. If you look, you'll even find that some of these sources are American.
