"Brothers" was meant to be plural - he tried to use an example in the singular sense (first example), and the plural sense, second sentance. Whether it was one brother, or more, the sentance was still incorrect.
Dickhead. Go back to middle school.

Is there really any reason to call him a "dickhead" over something as trivial as grammar? He realised the mistake and apologised a few posts down. There's no need to get coarse.wanderlost wrote:

On a side-note, this karma system is completely incompatible with a lot of the people on this forum. I don't know how much negative karma I've gotten from this thread simply because people rush to conclusions and fail to read the entire thread.
If you people have the time to write novels in your negative karma explanation, the least you can do is sign it so that the recipient may point out to you exactly why you're horribly wrong.
