I did not know if this was the correct forum for this post. But, after looking through them all this seemed the most suitable.
The section where said " There were 1 members (0 hidden) and 0 guests online in the past 30 minutes." Possible Change: " There has been 1 member(s) (0 hidden) and 0 guests online in the past 30 minutes. _______________ "There are always new horizons, so lets keep looking. " -Bryan CPAudio - Yet to have a Domain. - "Car and Pro Audio, what could be better?" « Last edit by Nullivex on Tue May 24, 2005 4:47 am. » |

How about this?
"In the last 30 minutes, 1 member* (0 hidden) and 0 guests* have visited the forums." * designates items that should change to singular or plural based on the numbers. For instance, anything that doesn't equal 1 (even 0, as it sounds better grammatically) should be plural. Only 1 should be singular. For example: "In the last 30 minutes, 5 members (0 hidden) and 1 guest have visited the forums." The word "have" will never need to change to "has", since the "and" preceeding it in the sentence always makes the subject plural. By the way, the way that I reworded the sentence makes it an active statement, rather than a passive one. It just sounds better that way!  _______________ "Feed me a stray cat." - ATM Machine, American Psycho View My Game Collection |
