Blogger is not grammatically correct. When an entry only has one comment, Blogger says “1 commentS,” with an “S,” indicating plural. The number one, however, is singular and very, very lonely. I’m stupidly annoyed by this.
This bugs me because I’m teaching agreement errors today. Anyone else stupidly annoyed today? Feel free to vent it in the commentS section here, with the “S” indicating that I’m looking for more than one comment so as to avoid this whole agreement error again.
Edit: Only two of you were annoyed by ANYTHING today?? Two?? Oh well…thanks to the two of you for not making me look at that annoying “1 commentS” thing again!

OK, so I'm a lurker going back through your old posts -- we're TTC, so I've been getting a wee bit obsessed with pregnancy blogs! But I wanted to delurk to let you know -- this bugged the crap out of me, too, until I figured out a way to fix it!

My random irritation - not blogger related: One of my instructors is a former prosecutor. He's been an attorney for over 30 years, and yet he spells misdemeanor wrong. I know it's wrong, I looked it up.
