woman: (singular noun) ONE singular female human women: (plural noun) MORE THAN ONE female human With Valentine’s Day approaching, I thought it was important to give you this advice. Do not write “To the women I love” if you are only addressing one woman. She might not understand.
If you are going to try to impress a woman for Valentine’s Day, you might want to be careful about this one. For example, don’t say “For the women I love” unless that’s really what you mean. woman: (noun) ONE singular female human women: (noun) MORE THAN ONE female human
In honour of International Women’s Day, I thought it would be good to sort out the confusion between woman and women. If this little memory trick helps, please feel free to use it. The letter A is the first letter of the alphabet—letter number ONE. So if you are talking about only one woman, use an A. The letter E comes later in the alphabet, so more than one. E also looks like a backwards 3 which is also more than one. If you are talking about multiple women, use an E.
