This post is stupid. How the fuck are people ever going to get a clue to stop making completely obvious posts if you idiots keep voting them to the home page? What is wrong with you?
I disagree. I have five siblings, but that is irrelevant. "People with siblingS:"
Siblings, as in plural. Doesn't that eliminate the people who actually comply with your latter description? It does.
I would agree with your last sentence. Generally having a number of siblings is exact. I realize that yes, I do have four siblings. This is true. I have on addition. But, today, it's implied that I ONLY have four. Which is untrue. Connotations are as important as denotations, as long as they are grammatically correct, do you agree?
Yep, which is where style comes in. It comes down to the minutiae and subtleties, and how well a thought was communicated. And i daresay, that this thought, this post has some communication issues.
Nope, I've got two.
wow, really? jerk...
Well, "a" means "one." I've got more than one.
but if someone says do u have a dollar, u wouldn't say no because you have 7 dollars, you would say yes
Also, if someone says, "Do you have a dollar?" They're asking for one dollar.
Just accept that I don't agree. I wouldn't vote No if I agreed.
except u dont agree because you dont think i worded it correctly? and i actually did word it correctly for anyone with
sibling(s) to say yyr
If you had said "at least one sibling" instead of "a sibling" I would have agreed. But I don't have a sibling, I've got two.
@565943 (yay_im_wrong): This is the dumbest argument I've ever read on amirite. Who cares how many siblings/ dollars/ which article to use?
Actually, you're the one who can't type with whole words or understand the difference between saying "a sibling" and "at least one sibling."
Can't we all just get along. Because I could really use a wish right now. <3
I think I love you for these comments.
Haha thanks. I just get bored and get into stupid arguments. Passes the time :)
You're totally right though. The comments are shallow and pedantic but correct :P
That's a different context.
Mostly I would say I don't carry cash. Bums always begging outside my grocery store.
Saying do you have a sibling means at least one sibling so yes you have a sibling you just have a second one too.
(So yeah): No, that is inaccurate. In the context, saying "you have a sibling" implies one. It's the tense in which it is said.
Your calling him a jerk, while you made a post thats basically saying, "Hey! Over here! I'm DESPERATE for some yeah you are's!!!!"
People who can read: You can read what I wrote.
yea but im just making a joke and he's being a jerk making an argument 2 an issue like that...
I disagree with your comment because this post has ALL the most ridiculous arguments I've ever read.
Obvious post is obvious.

This post is a win. However some people look at it too hard.
I disagree. I have five siblings, but that is irrelevant. "People with siblingS:"

I don't think it does. To limit it to just one sibling, he'd need to say "You have just one sibling".
You said you have five siblings correct? The statement "Scrantoncity has four siblings" isn't incorrect, it's just not the whole truth.
Overall, OP has stylistic issues, and this post could've clearly been written better, would you agree?

I do have a sibling but I voted this down because it's a really stupid post.
ok, i'm fine with that
This doesn't even make any sense... :|
