No, b/c saying that wouldn't be correct. Whether the words are worthy of the the pickup truck-bed or not, you should say "his choice of words sucks". The verb applies to "choice" (singular subject) and not to "words" (plural object of the preposition). Therefore, the verb should be singular in number.

Thank you. Mr. (More) Annoying (Than Usual) Grammar Guy. :D

I get it.

If I say "Chuck sucks", that means the act is plural. Right?

Would that be the singular or plural form of blows?

btw let's take it easy on Mick.

He might come to your town & burn it down if you get him PO'ed.

I was actually thinking of the more recent yearly event known as devil night....which I first heard of in '84 from a buddy who grew up in the motor city.

Kinda why he left.

Looks like a palming violation to me.

By the way, did anyone hear Rasheed Wallace's comments after the game? He basically said the officiating was terrible, (and he's relatively unbiased :rolleyes: ) but at least the NBA is going to send some good officials to game 6 because the NBA wants a game 7.

I wonder if he'll be called to principal's office on that one?

He used the word "blatant", as if the refs were trying so hard to help Miami that it was obvious to everyone. I think he said "Y'all had to have seen that [bleep]", or something close to that.

I did like 45 offensive fouls in the 3rd quarter. Holy cow, it was six trips in a row ended with offensive fouls.

Both offensive, and defensive!
