Yes, it's a small issue. But, it occurs in many areas of the Stack Exchange Sites.

I found this issue in

In the review History Page

Rest of the things are on the hover messages, I've tried them on both Firefox and Chrome.

Do we need to fix this type of issues?

I think, Yes.

    -1 It's too much effort for what it's worth. Also no use of freehand circles.

    I'd argue the "s" for "0" is actually correct. You don't say "Zero answer" or "No answer". But as for the rest... "Yes".

    Yeah, 0 answers is absolutely fine. 1 answers, on the other hand... if it weren't for that S...

  • It's 0 answers and 1 answer. Only when it's 1 is it not "plural".

I believe Jeff already knows. I don't think he cares though (and I totally agree).

The benefit to fix this just does not motivate the cost I believe. Not that we should care, IMHO it is a common workaround in programming to always use plural.

    Given that Jeff no longer works for SE perhaps this is more relevant now :)

    @Mansfield the Giant S will always be relevant around here.
