^ you’re an idiot. The “royal we” (see: “majestic we”) allows a singular person to adopt a plural subject as though he or she were speaking for entire group. It does not give one the ability to break the rules of grammar; there still needs to be subject-verb agreement.
Ex. (the president speaking) “We decided to sign the bill.”
He could NOT say, “A republican say they don’t like us/me.”
Again, subject and verb must ALWAYS agree. So please learn your shit before you attempt to sound smart
I don’t expect this guy to go into every detail of his surgical procedure. Everyone knows that surgeons operate in teams and that by saying “they,” we all knew that he was referring to the surgical team as a whole. That would be the subject he’s adopting. It’s implied and easily seen by anyone with a little common sense and the knowledge of the royal we- which is my point. So unless you want him to say “I had a group of nurses and doctors to a surgery on my today. The surgeon said they (the nurses, doctors, as surgeons) had trouble putting me under.TFM” then I ask you to please stop being an ass. You’re not as bad as the original guy though. He’s dumb. You’re just a little arrogant.
Oh. You ARE the original guy. Ha. So you’re just arrogant and like to unnecessarily nit-pick people’s grammar on a website that thrives off of fragmented sentences and horribly constructed gerunds.

14 years ago at 6:15 pmGood quality TFM.
14 years ago at 6:25 pmObviously, you’re still alive.
14 years ago at 6:47 pmfunniest in a while
14 years ago at 6:50 pmCan you give me a better nickname than “Surgeon”?
14 years ago at 7:04 pmHahahaha. Fuckin Fratdusky.
14 years ago at 8:21 pmYou’ve never had trouble putting me down “Surgeon”
14 years ago at 8:34 pmHe* had a difficult time
14 years ago at 7:20 pmCould have been multiple nurses/surgeon’s slams doing that work for him.
14 years ago at 8:25 pmthen it would have said “surgeons”
14 years ago at 8:39 pmIce cold frat, you suck. It’s called the royal we. Look it up. And then find an education. That’s high school English.

14 years ago at 11:21 pm^subject-pronoun agreement. not verb. I’m taking my lap now

14 years ago at 11:46 pmI’ll take my lap also for nit-picking a nit-picker. Hypocrisy with conviction. TFM
14 years ago at 11:50 pmQuality.
14 years ago at 7:57 pmRight, cause your surgeon does anesthetic work, too.
14 years ago at 9:17 pmAre you honestly going to try to call him out for substituting “they” for ” the team of doctors and nurses” when you just used cause in a sentence?
14 years ago at 9:47 pmNo he didn’t.
14 years ago at 11:08 pmGreat post, actually just happened to me…they couldn’t believe how hard I “pregamed” on nitrous
