Heavenletter #4617 The Crux of the Matter

Dear Gloria,

I know the expression "For heaven's sake" and wonder whether in this case "For Heaven's sakes is correct? Is sake to be meant to be plural here?

Are you on the fight or flight mode all the time? Are you geared to the fight or flight mode of life? For Heaven’s sakes, why?

Thanks.
Luus

I think "sakes" works well.

I think "sakes" works well. It may also be the correct form! Good going, Luus!
