But such things happen not just among the German and Swedish polloi, but
even in the crowning heights of the English language. The word
"cherubims" is used many times in the King James Bible and at least once
in Shakespeare.

And "the hoi polloi" is a similar confusion in itself, for "hoi" is the
Greek definite article.
