I feel sad for this world.

Brainwashed kids D:

I'm 16, am I included in this generation of handicaps?

Lol Ephi, I thought you would be one to know about grammar...

It would be "are", if there was an "s" at the end of "generation."

Er, nope. Look it up. A generation refers to multiple people - "is" is singular and "handicaps" is plural. Back to English class for you - although you're in Alabama so I'm guessing it won't help much.

"Our generations" would be equally incorrect if he's referring to a single age group (which he is) because they all belong to one generation.

They don't teach that in English anymore.  At least where I live they don't.

Both are correct, shutup you Brit.





Again, no. You can say "Our generation is going to be handicapped" or "Our generation is going to be full of handicaps" but that sentence is incorrect. Maybe this is another case of you Americans perverting the English language.

Although you are really crying about nothing, the merriam-webster dictionary considers generation singular.

So you're saying that generation is third person singular? You would use "is" then.

Oh god I lol'd
