Woman - one

Women - more than one

Right: "Hillary Clinton is a woman"

Wrong: "Michael Jackson is a women"

Right: "The Ladies' Auxiliary is full of women"

Wrong: "The men's restroom is occupied by several woman"



That is all. Thank you.

I've seen it several times on this forum over the past couple of weeks. Call it a pet peeve.

the word "dog" is singular.

the word "dogs" is plural.

you know, since it's so tough to know the different between singular and plural words.

Also, could be please stop it with all these "Oh Teh Noes" comments. If you're talking about just one instance of something bad happening, the "Noes" is not appropriate, come on people!

All I know is you can't trust something that bleeds for seven days and doesn't die.
