2021-12-17 13:24:53 Elon Musk, a person of the year 2021, according to Time magazine.

The richest man in the world does not own a house and has recently been selling off his fortune. He tosses satellites into orbit and harnesses the sun; he drives a car he created that uses no gas and barely needs a driver. With a flick of his finger, the stock market soars or swoons. An army of devotees hangs on his every utterance. He dreams of Mars as he bestrides Earth, square-jawed and indomitable.

Do you agree with that choice? Who could be named a person of the year instead? Open / Comment

These nouns do not exist in the singular form

Clothing
* panties, boxers, briefs, tights
