Visited Ferretfingers’ college this morning where there was a poster for a meal deal in the canteen which said "select a singular piece of fruit".
Now, unless they've got some very special oranges or bananas, I think they meant "single".
Is it just me?
Or does no-one else expect an educational establishment to be able to recognise improperly used English?
Presumably the people who designed the poster are native English speakers who should at least be aware of the difference between single and singular.
Surely someone somewhere did some copy checking before printing.
Mrs Jeremy It's definitely not just you, Ben!
Mrs JFe No Ben it's not just you!. Don't even get me started on the use of
their/there and your/you're!!!
Now that's what I call a singular piece of fruit.
