“Was the United States and the Soviet Union on the Brink of Nuclear War?” Well, it’s interesting to learn just how close they was. If they was any closer maybe they’d have become singular and the grammar of that headline would have become correct. So, I didn’t say it was earth-shaking.
Hi, Dan Kirklin, and welcome to the SDMB!
Since this is a comment concerning Cecil’s latest column (Operation Able Archer: Was the United States and the Soviet Union on the brink of nuclear war?), I’ve moved your thread over to our “Comments on Cecil’s Columns” forum.
Also, we encourage folks to link to the column to which you’re referring. No biggie, though; you’ll know next time.
Again, welcome to the SDMB!
A singular gremlin, obviously. (Usually they work in pairs or packs.)
I’ll get it fixed.
