Taka  +  536311 Thu, 03 Jul 08 04:33 PM I always have some problem using the noun 'comment', not really sure if it has to be singular or plural. At first, I thought when a single person said something at one time, it was the singular 'comment.' But I noticed that it was not necessarily so: I've seen some people saying 'my comments', not 'my comment' for what he/she said at the time. So when should I use the singular 'comment' and when the plural 'comments'? Taka Joined on Tue, Sep 7 2004 Japan Senior Member 2,624 Plurals, Nouns

	CalifJim  +  536498 Fri, 04 Jul 08 03:31 AM I think informally it's usually comments.  If I comment on something, I'm making comments.  When someone gives their opinion, it is rare that they touch only on a single aspect of the topic being discussed.  When a politician or government official issues a formal statement, that statement may be called a comment.  If he does not wish to comment, he says "No comment" or "I have no comment on that". Above are my comments on your original post. CJ  CalifJim Joined on Mon, Aug 2 2004 California Veteran Member 22,128 "There are no facts, only interpretations" - Nietzsche
