Brains, not Brain ^^

[Wolfang]

We need a few more villagers to man a tin mine.
So far accepting any type of player.

PM me if interested for more info.

Any type of player? I do think it is prudent that we be more cautious with the type of people we accept into Xendar Wolfie (Unless you mean profession, in that case i apologize)

[Wolfang]

Use your brains please.

Use your brains please.

If you were talking to that one person, you might want to reconsider the plural. Or maybe even answer his question. To be fair, you were pretty vague.

[Wolfang]

He is part of our village so he knows fully well what i mean and thus have no need to elaborate on this forum.

And brains can, and is usually used in plural form, even whilst adressing one person.

Read books if you don't believe me.

Tip for the future: Don't tell a librarian to read books. Actually, stop being a dick altogether.

Regardless of his position, it was a question that should be asked and answered. Furthermore, it doesn't matter what how you think it's usually used, plural means multiple and humans have a single brain. If you were addressing everyone that reads this topic, it's perfectly correct, but incredibly rude and unnecessary. If it was just that one guy, it's wrong, rude and unnecessary. Take your pick.

Well I bet I know one guy who isn't getting an invite to the tin mine

Actually, referring to a single person's brain in the plural is an accepted colloquialism in (at least American) English. Not to excuse any hostility from either party here, but he's not exactly incorrect on that point.

Oh, then I apologise to both of you for my ignorance. It's still incorrect, though. Sadly that doesn't seem to hold much value these days.

Haha! I'm stupid enough to confuse a tin mine with a half baked potato anyway, so it's probably just as well

No it's not incorrect, and I highly doubt that you are a (competent) librarian if you didn't know that.

You should have done some research first.
