Is there an error in this two-way conversation?
A: "Do I have all of your words?"
B: "You have our word, sir."
Yes | 99 (62%) |
No | 60 (37%) |
I would have to agree with 62% of you. "To have your word" is an expression meaning to promise, and you don't pluralize it just because more than one person is promising something. A should have said, "Do I have your word, everyone?" or something similar.
