When "and" involves as a subject (i.e.  spammers and idiots), the verb
must be in a plural form (i.e.  spammer and idiot "love" to spam).    

When "or" involves in the subject which connects a singular
(pro-)nouns(i.e.   spammer or idiot)  then the verb must be in
singular form (i.e. spammer or idiot loves to spam).   

When nouns or pro-nouns are connected with "or" in plural form (i.e.
spammers or  idiot)  then the verb takes the precedent for the word
just shown before (i.e.    spammers or idiot loves to spam).

When the word "everyone" is used, this must be followed by the
singular verb or singular pronoun (he or she to refer to "everyone").
(i.e.    everyone loves to spam.   she likes spam.)  it is funny but
that's the way it works.

When the word "all" is used, this must be followed by the plural verb
or plural pronoun (i.e. all (of spammers) are stupid.   they are
stupid.).

When the word "each" is used, the followed verb must be in singular
form.  (i.e.   Each spammers is subject to termination of internet
service)


"Asians students" is wrong.  "Asian students" is correct;   The
singular noun acts as a adjective in this case.    "Computers
application" is wrong.   "Computer application" is correct and etc.


Question of the day:

Answer if next following statements are correct or incorrect.   (there
are two correct and two incorrect statements.   Good luck !!   Watch
out for tricks !!   Hi hi !):


1)  Everyone is doing her own business.


2)  Masataka and his girlfriend decides to watch movie tonight.


3) Each students and his teacher are required to donate the blood.


4)  Masataka decided to clean up his room, to finish his assignments
and buy 6/49.



Answer:   1) correct (everyone -> singular), 2) incorrect  (plural
verb must be followed)   3) correct ("his" for "each",  "are" for
"and")  4) incorrect (inconsistent.      "to buy" must be used)


Maybe I should become an English teacher !!
