Talk:Borrowed Bones

Plural or singular

Seeing as there is some discussion around this, I'll start it. The name of this item is clearly a plural, referring to multiple "bones", similarly to how articles like the Gunboats, Mantreads, or Ali Baba's Wee Booties are written in a plural form. Other examples include Boom Boxers, Olympic Leapers, Blizzard Britches, and Wipe Out Wraps. I think we should keep it plural, because it's consistent with how we write other aticles.

As demonstrated above, the nominal agreement has been regarding whether the item's name is singular or plural, not whether we're talking about one item or multiple items. This isn't something TF Wiki-exclusive either; it's not a grammar error. Changing it now would require changing all other such articles; making an exception wouldn't make sense, and it would just be inevitably changed later by someone who notices the discrepancy between this article and all the other ones. - BrazilianNut (talk) 17:24, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
