Talk:Gorgonite plateskirt

One is singular doesn't hold for platelegs, plateskirts, or pants. For example, you say, "a pair of pants" even though you mean one. You say, "These pants are nice" as opposed to "This pant is nice" even if you're only taking about one pair of pants. This extends very obviously to platelegs and, yes, even platskirts. Modern American usage demands than both transitive and intransitive verbs conjugate in volitional plural forms when modifying things like pants. In this capacity, regarding Gorgonite plateskirt, saying "it requires" instead of "they require" doesn't comport with Modern American Style (see Garner's Modern American Usage, or Elements of Style, or really any style guide period). --Valentin Louis Georges Eugène Marcel Proust.
