so you came up with one point...and i appreciate it 
P.S in that link it doesnt say im quite wrong. thou non native - i know that multiple is more than one or two.  |
1. I never said it was grammatically incorrect. I said it was "wrong."
2. Non-native = wrong. Maybe not grammatically wrong. But I never said it was.
3.
Multiple means "more than one." Stop arguing about what English words mean with a native English speaker whose job is to be very good with English and who used to be an editor of an academic journal, please.
4. If you can't give correct help, you are by definition doing the opposite of helping. If I walk around the gym telling everyone you're supposed to do deadlifts with a curved back (which, I might add, can cause serious injury), I don't care how much I want to help, I'm literally
hurting people.
My point is that you should wait a little while longer before helping people. That's all.
Well, also that you shouldn't dictate to me what simple words mean in English
Truce?
