I wouldn't have a clue what you were referring to. Although, in theory, "good" can be used in its singular form, in practice it never is. Also "sport" is a noun, not an adjective. To convert it to an adjective use "sports" or "sporting".http://www.englishforums.com/English/SportingGoodsVsSportGood/zrjdr/post.htm#420450Mon, 23 Mar 2009 23:49:36 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:420450Magic794http://www.englishforums.com/English/SportingGoodsVsSportGood/zrjdr/post.htm#420450http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-420450.xmlThanks Clive!http://www.englishforums.com/English/SportingGoodsVsSportGood/zrjdr/post.htm#420275Sat, 23 May 2009 22:49:36 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:420275Clive5http://www.englishforums.com/English/SportingGoodsVsSportGood/zrjdr/post.htm#420275http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-420275.xmlHi, Any difference between sporting goods vs. sport good s ? I dont think there is any even though there were 30,000 hits for sporting and 500,000 for sport. What do you think? There's really not a lot of difference, but the normal idiomatic phrase in my experience is 'sporting goods'. eg 'This store sells sporting goods'.
