Bad Grammar: Diddy's Daughters Cry After Feds Seize Their Phones

 

Background

Kiki’s Tea is a YouTube channel that focuses on celebrity gossip. It has more than 100,000 subscribers and has uploaded 657 videos at the time of this posting. This particular video is about the turmoil Sean ‘Diddy’ Comb’s children, especially his daughters, have faced since their dad was charged with federal crimes.




My Comments

This is another YouTube video title with horrendous grammar. This sentence, like in many of the other previous posts I have made, has a subject-verb agreement error. The subject in this title is the word “daughters” and it is a plural word. It therefore has to be followed by a plural verb.

This nagging error arises because most people are unable to reconcile the fact that most plural nouns take the letter ‘S,’ while the plural verb does not. This usually leads to confusion that spills onto the screens of our phones and computers as we view social media content.

The correct form of this title should be:

“Diddy's Daughters Cry After Feds Seize Their Phones.”
