Why does it have to be creates?

---

you can birth a steam fog, I think. But pluralizing the verb now, mer.

Can you birth babies?

it wouldn't, because it is a list of what rain does, but your antecedent is separated from your verb by an indefinite clause which creates a syntactic slap. The confusion arises (just for me most likely) with the odd phrase:

birth steam fogs

because every one of them could be a noun or a verb and any of them as a noun would need "creates" I end up trying to decipher it.

meh, like I said, the problem is most likely just mine, felt like pointing it out anyway.
