Are you drunk? Did you mean to simply say "communications isn't a real word." Except you're wrong and it is. Communication can quite happily be pluralised in certain senses, such as the one used.

Is it me or is grammar so unimportant that the "MD for public policy and communications" for such a small organisation like Telstra should think so little of it.... Perhaps with the global financial climate Telstra can't afford a corporate proof reader... "More often than not" I suspect is more correct.... But - I have a serious question for the Dag's Dictionary - what do you call a professional communicator who pluralises a word that cannot be plural.... perhaps a multipluraliser, or an essingerliser, perhaps a clumsies... The person used very specific communications to explain the problem..... The bloke gave me too many informations...... The rain came down and saturations happened in many towns..... They have been displaying their eruditions.... I blame silicon valley for the only vaguely acceptable use of the word "communications" - many parallel cables communicating in unison...
