I'm sure it's just a second language thing, but it's interesting that you use the plural of "men" but the singular "woman". Is that more grammatically appropriate in your first language?

Thanks for your comment and I fixed the typos in my earlier post.

English is indeed not my native language, but I should have noticed this spelling mistake, since I use English most every day.

In my first language (Dutch) there is a clear distinction between singular and plural (men: man - mannen, women: vrouw - vrouwen).

Woman in the above case doesn't at all read correctly. It's simply a clear cut spelling mistake and not really worth further discussion.
