    Towards the end of the last century, one of my college student wrote, "I work with men, women, and truck drivers."
-I think "student" should be students -right?

Also, I think the students sentence is far more interesting. It suggests that truck drivers are somehow a class unto themselves. It's actually a provocative sentence.
