[edit] English Grammar
Bart, you were wrong, and you didn't know why. In fact, I didn't know why at first, but after thinking about it, I realized that this was a compound sentence composed of two independent clauses, linked by a coordinating conjunction, and with the second subject implied. To avoid confusion, I added in the second subject.R Young {yakłtalk} 19:50, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
- The way it's now, it is fine: "age gap" is singular. I'm not sure about the implied subject you refer to, but at least the way it is now, there can be no misunderstandings.
- Just one question: one of your edit summaries was "Since 'suggest' is singular, 'leaves' should be plural as a counter-balance." Did you mix up singular and plural? Surely you agree that suggest is plural and leaves (the verb form, not the tree appendages) is singular? If not, this is your opportunity for teaching me some more grammar :-) Phaunt 19:54, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
- Not exactly: I meant in fact that their ages also leave room for age exaggeration. Extremely sexy 23:35, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
