The Barrier Has Been Broken

Sorry, but I'm not convinced.

Any sentence you come up with has to use the word "group" to predefine fainters.

The man noted that the farther he moved from the window, the fainter (notice no "s") Shatzy's glare was. Now, pluralize that sentence. YOU CAN'T.

Bring it on, before I faint from bordom.

the word you used is called an 'adjective'....

the word i used is called a 'noun'...

nouns can be made plural by adding an S.

if you can discrepancies with the noun 'fainter(s)'
i suggest you consult www.dictionary.com and
any other various authorities on linguistics.

this is shatzy, signing out

Alex, you are pretty stupid. your argument is like saying baseballs isn't a word or questions isn't a word. The singular words (notice another word that apparently isn't correct according to Alex) baseball and question are grammatically correct singular nouns. Also, the words baseballs and questions are grammatically correct plural nouns.

As ek3 would say, check and mate.

has ek3 said that on here?

no, during personal conversations, that is what he has said. I guess I should have used his real name, but i didnt' feel comfortable giving out person information like that.
