    Thank you!  LOL.  She keeps arguing that it is NEED because work is not plural!  I don't even know what she means by that and this women is 50 yrs old!
  • apparently she is BSC.
  • Needs all the way!

  • I suppose she is correct that work is not plural, but if it were then it would be need without the s - not needs. Ex. The works need to be completed.  That is the only case were need would not have an s on the end and even that just doesn't sound right to me. 

    I typed the sentence in MS word and did a grammar check and it stated that without the s it is wrong - but it wouldn't give me a rule for it or anything.  I was asleep the day they taught english and proper grammar in school because I'm constantly having to use MS word to see if something is the correct grammar.

  • She's wacko.  And I'm really glad no one here voted for need, hah.

    Amy's right, it has the s when referencing singular words, but no s for plural words.  I think she's confused.  When you convinced her it's needs, did she want to put an apostrophe in there too, like "need's"?   hahaha

    Angi ~ LOL.  You are right and it was driving me BSC, thus my post.  ;-) 

    I told her I didn't care what she used, as it is her document.  She asked me to look it over and I was just telling her what I found.  Instead of dropping it, she went on and on about it, trying to prove me wrong.  Next time, I'm just going to tell the document looks good.

    Merin ~ I am SO NOT getting into apostrophes with her!!! LOL
