Hmm, this made me think, is 0 plural (multiple) to use word "words" rather than word "word"? Or is my portugeese better than English? -
If you find this post offensive, please insert "Chan" before and "tho" after, then it should be OK.

I am just thinking aloud here. Let's look at what you said again:Originally posted by Pinto View PostPardon?
"That's not portuguese. Make that 0 words"
Note "words", this is used for plurals - 2 words, 10 words, but 1 word. The question I have is why "words" when we deal with not a plural number, 0 is even less than 1. Komprehende comrade?Comment

Makes more sense to use the plural, as there could potential be more than 1.Originally posted by AtW View PostI am just thinking aloud here. Let's look at what you said again:

If you listened to other people, you would notice nobody uses 0 in the singular

Eh? But than having 1 surely more potential to be more than 1, than 0 to be more than 1? 0 is 0, IMO, everyone is just wrong to use plural word after it and it took a sharp mind like mine to notice this.Originally posted by Pinto View PostMakes more sense to use the plural, as there could potential be more than 1.
