While this construction is right out of the loony right talking points, it isn't a grammatical construction. You cannot follow a preposition by a verb and then make a plural of it by adding an "s.".

Please, professor, enlighten us on the grammatical construction of this train-wreck (from #691):

Perhaps the babies that god butchers are souls so predisposed to corruption and damnation that god decided to end the matter right their he decided to damn the soul to the eternal fires right there. Sound gruesome - get a clue - you guys are not playing with a full deck. Stop pretending you know the will of god. You don't even understand grammar and common sense.

Hey, some of us like to live dangerously and hit the post button before proof-reading. But I don't think that that is your excuse. Also, I am not pretending to any sort of god-like perfectionism.
