I get that it's a silent "s" but, but to me this is basic spelling. I notice that a lot of people leave out the "s" in their typing. The word corps itself is described as a group of people associated together.

Apparently there are very few people who know how to spell. An occasional typo is one thing....but quite a few people butcher a lot of words when they write or type. Anything that isn't spelled exactly as it sounds is likely to be mispelled often.

Semi-litteracy.

It's a French term (as are most military terms) meaning "body". The S is silent because it is in French.

because unless youve seen it spelled out before, you have no idea that its a silent S. it just sounds like corp or core.
