Spiritual Winged Aura, I really like your opinions on like everything. But honestly I think you should just drop it and leave it to more complex grammar erroes. pinch.gif

Why, yes, I do know my grammatical rules. Therefore, I know I can tell you that there is nothing wrong with that icon. Now can we please move the freaking heck along with whatever the purpose of this thread was? K? K.

3rd one, you don't add a plural "s", when it's singular.


I love bad boys = correct.

I love this/that/a bad boy = correct

I love bad boy = incorrect, missing a demonstrative or an article.

huh.gif I'm sure the text meant to be the plural "I love bad boys", not a singular "I love bad boy". Else, it's missing a vital word.

This coming from a FOB. *Sigh*.

It doesn't have to be singular. It is meant to be plural, and Fae has it right. Just because it's picture of one guy, doesn't mean it has to be singular.

IT'S CORRECT!

Sorry, just had to let that out _smile.gif

I think that's the most accurate thing you've said in this entire thread.


Hell, why stop there? Perhaps ever.

In case anyone thought I was making fun, I wasn't... I'm the FOB... haha.

You do not have "s" on a singular (except with "its" and "hers", but that's 'cuz of another rule), but I really think that the one who made the graphic meant for it to be plural.

Think of it this way, "I love bad boys" is structured the same as these:

"I love small tomatoes"
"I hate smelly feet" (plural of foot)
"I like blue eyes"

I don't love just one small tomato, I love all of them. Likewise, I don't like just one bad boy, I love 'em all. If you want to change the text to "I love bad boys", then you would be incorrect because you'd be missing an article or a demonstrative.
