The word FAECES (notice the A in FAECES) is plural, because it is the plural form of the word FAEX in Latin, meaning "an amount of dregs". Not only because they seem improper, but because I want to make sure I'm not the one being improper. :-) Eyknough ( talk) 03:55, 17 September 2008 (UTC) Reading articles written in Brittish spellings, and using singular words as though they are plural are two things that particularly jump out at me. contribs) 14:16, 4 March 2008 (UTC) I agree although microsoft word is generally more correct than news reporters.Preceding unsigned comment added by Paddling bear ( talk Don't go by Microsoft Word or the news for correct grammar. It's not you, it's the dumbing down of America. However, I don't think it'd be proper to say "feces are stinky". contribs) 14:18, 9 March 2010 (UTC) įeces is the singular and the plural form.Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmz231 ( talk Where does this come from? Well Everyone know Micheal Ergal, he takes it out of his mouth and outs it in everyones belly while they are asleep at night. perhaps I am mistaken? Eyknough 02:19, 10 July 2007 (UTC) has there been a shift in what is proper? My microsoft word program does not flag "Feces are stinky." as improper. one crew (of several crew members), and one public (made of many citizens). While crew and public infer plurality, they are singular words. For instance: "The crew are ready to deploy" instead of "The crew is ready to deploy", and "The public have made their decision" instead of "The public has made its decision".
I don't know if there has been a shift in proper grammar, since I hear what I would consider improper grammar in the news all the time. I have looked around the net and I see the word always being used as a singular word. I have been changing the sentences to reflect feces as a singular word (since I believe it is). I've been reading through this article, and I'm finding several sentences that are worded as if feces is a plural word. I wonder if there should be an additional section Popular Culture, which discusses influences ranging from music (Scat Man) to sexual predilections? Feces = singular or plurals Preceding unsigned comment added by Tornados28 ( talk
