It really bugs me that Blogger unashamedly tells me that a post has “1 comments”. It seems grammar is a problem for application programmers; I suspect this is for two main reasons.

  1. Grammar doesn’t follow easily measurable logic.
  2. Application developers’ primary language is usually either php or binary as opposed to English.

Nevertheless, surely someone at Google has the brains to sort this simple pluralisation problem.

Facebook tackled a much more complicated issue with their status updates and at least gave it a go before finally giving up.

Maybe we should petition Google to get it sorted, maybe we should start a revolution! Or maybe even a Facebook group!
