RE: "0 or 1" singlular or plural?

["T. Word Smith" <techwordsmith -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

Believe it or not, we are dealing with a level one bug
(top level) logged against my documentation.

Of course, I changed the stuff outside the parentheses
to make it less identifiable.

Am going to stick with the plural because it sounds
better (the singular causes me to pause and I don't
want the reader tripping over the words, I want them
to focus on the content) and I am not writing a
grammar guide.

Thanks for the help, we can consider this thread done.
