....and another thing - the plural of sport is sport, not "sports"....

It can be used both ways.

Your sentence construction was wrong. There are many variations of sport, but they remain under the one all encompassing term. The adding of the s is just another illiterate Americanism.

....and "schedule" is not pronounced with a hard c either, it's shed-ule, not sked-ule....

It was a correctly structured sentence that highlighted your incorrect intial claim.

Last year I played golf and cricket. Last year I played two different sports.

Oh dear me! It appears that Oxford University are struggling with sentence construction and illiterate Americanisms

Well that's just sad, as I strongly suspect those s's wouldn't have been present before the post-war triumph of the American Empire.

You don't use an apostrophe to make a word plural, JLT.

London hosted the Olympic games in 1908 - well before any "post war triumph of the American Empire". Click on the link and read about "The Great Sports Stadium"

You can for single letters, s is a single letter not a word. eg - dot your i's and cross your t's.

So that leaflet was printed in Oxbridge?

I'll concede the point that different types of sport can be called sports in seperation, but the correct collective/group noun of sport is still sport.

 

[Massive Tiger]

JLT, nope you don't. Apostrophes are used for contractions and to show possession. Your example is neither.

Matters not a jot where the brochure was printed. It is an example showing the word was in use in England in a time you strongly suspected it was not.

Would you also concede that you have an unusual way of spelling separation? :hihi

No biggie, but try not to begin a sentence with a conjunction.
