Psa: “foot” vs “feet” rant

[Okie2]

Just heard another national television fishing celebrity refer to the water as being “16 foot” deep. People it’s as simple as “singular” (one) vs “plural” (more than one). If you are referring to more than one (plural) then it’s FEET. So it would be “16 FEET” deep NOT “16 FOOT” deep. Your boat is “A 16 boat” (“A” is singular”) but, it is “16 feel long”(plural). Sorry for the rant…kills me that the leaders in the industry that I love (fishing) do this every day. Help the next generation to be better.

[BP in ME]

Whenever I list a boat for sell I call it a 16 footer.

[Okie2]

That’s accurate because it is “A” (singular) 16 foot boat. Well done!

Huh?


You left something off plus you capitalized the A when it was not necessary. Shouldn't PSA be capitalized on thread title as well?

[Mark Perry]

Is the transit good? Does it chime walk? Is it for sell? What kind of grafts are on it?

[Okie2]

Those are some funny responses.

Do too the lewnacy I, dont wanna get envolvd.

[MadYakker]

I'm scratching my head as to when people started using "sell" and "sale" incorrectly so often. "Boat For Sell" and "I'm going to sale my boat". I see this screwed up usage on here a lot!
