Talk:Plural Instead of Singular

From Homestar Runner Wiki

The First Day of the Day

In Sickly Sam's Big Outing, The Homestar Runner tells Sickly Sam, "Today's the first day of the day of your big outing." Does this belong on this page? Because "the first day (implying there are more days counted) of the day (implying that there aren't any more days counted)". It seems like that merits a remark somewhere, but i'm not sure where.

It's both a plural instead of singular and a singular instead of plural. Is it also a spoonerism? --BroncoTroll^☺ 09:01, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

It could technically be thought of one, but as only one sound gets moved, it's not really one as such. — Defender1031*Talk 13:48, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

Regarding this revert

You seem to have missed my point. I have no problem with the pluralized version of verbs or adjectives appearing in the main list. My only issue was that "he likes" is the proper way to say it, so I reworded it to keep the "I likes" phrasing. "All" is never used with an s, whether or not something is plural or singular, so that doesn't belong here at all, which is why I removed it originally. I also removed the kids' book entry, as that's an instance of Singular Instead of Plural. — Defender1031*Talk 13:44, 9 August 2015 (UTC) How is it singular instead of plural? A: Wear is a verb. B: The sentence should be "some people wear glasses". --BroncoTroll^☺ 16:00, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

Also, you didn't explain why you deleted the "variations" section. --BroncoTroll^☺ 16:01, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

Wait, I get it. It's from "Some people wear" to "I wear". But that's a variation, since it's not a noun. --BroncoTroll^☺ 16:10, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
