You bought some new gears? They sell audio gears. I don't think so.
I saw some deers on the way to work (Nope)
Now, "let's drink some beers" is probably wrong (could be slang), but "how many beers" is correct.
Check with Brittany Spear (or Spears?)
New gears?
Hey yous guys,
Guess what -- the word "gear" is a plural form without the added "s" when used in the context of audio (or any other) type of equipment. When I think of "gears," it's usually in the context of individual mechanical gears, like those found in a watch or a multi-speed bicycle. I don't believe it should be used to refer to individual components.
Am I wrong? Is "gears" also acceptable when used in this context? It sounds very odd to me. Any English scholars out there?
