Instructor, would you accept this?
To emphasize the plural of a word as a word, I like single markers, not italics.
Would you accept the following?
His paragraph had too many 'whereas's and 'ass's in it.
Thanks

No, I didn't think of '***' in that sense,
What I mean is that I find the construction clumsy.
Formally, I would write
eg His paragraph uses the words 'whereas' and '***' too much.
