"James is" instead of "James are".
All those people with names ending with "s" make my head hurt. Curse you James, Chris, Thomas, Charles and all the others with their fancy and exotic names!
Seriously, proper names are fine to end with "s" as their isn't really a meaningful plural form. Shoes is used as a name here so "Shoes is" is grammatically correct.
- bbor 3y agoYes it is grammatically correct, but it is linguistically and aesthetically an attack on my delicate sensibilities. To me it sounds less like “James is” and more like “jameses is”. A framework is one individual thing, naming it after a plural noun is a weird juxtaposition. Like naming a kid “jameses”, or a dog “rovers”. Plus “shoe” would be an AWESOME name for a framework! Missed opportunity…
