    First person and imperative also takes the singular:

    I never let them down

    Never let them down (you implied)

    Francis and Markitek are both correct, but grammarians apart, the customer assimilates what he thinks he sees, not what you’ve written, so the rule in advertising seems to be “Sod what’s right and go for what the punters expect”

    There’s a lovely and popular book in the UK by Lynne Truss called Eats, Shoots & Leaves (Depending on punctuation, the title either describes a violent diner or the eating habits of a panda) It’s a wonderful no-nonsense, humorous guide to grammatical English!

    Hi

    Is rockyboyboy singular or is he just seeing plural!?

    Maybe it's just the P*st tense!

    If you are selling a swimming aid, it's: "NEVER LETS YOU DROWN"

    Hi all. I'm closing this question since it's more than 2 weeks old, and it's no longer an active discussion. Thanks for participating!

    Best wishes,

    Val
