False Plurals
rogersgeorge on November 2nd, 2024
Treat false plurals like the singulars they are. These words just happen to end in ‘s.’ Here’s a guy (Mike Peterson) who probably actually knows better getting it wrong. “Economics” is a singular. It gets a singular verb.
Unfortunately, we’ve got a significant number of people here who are just as ignorant about how economics work. (should be “how economics works.”)
Here’s the comic Mike Peterson used to illustrate his point, which he explains in detail in the paragraph after the comic. I do grammar, not politics, so click the link if you’re interested.
