all i want to eat is pomegranate margaritas? am i getting dumber through playing so much poker? which one is gramatically correct? is or are? and why the [censored] do i care?

[/ QUOTE ]

i think it's 'are'

hoo boy i hope there's a lot of grammar prop betting! lolz

/nit

it's "is." because is is related to "all i want" not to the margaritas. pretty sure about this, as awkward as it seems

[/ QUOTE ]

nah youre thinking of "all i want is to eat pomegranate margaritas" rather than "all i want to eat are pomegranate margaritas"

[/ QUOTE ]

no, i was thinking about the same thing you are. i could be wrong, but i'm pretty confident about this.

From SATS, I remember the trick is to move the nouns to figure it out. So in this case it would be "pomegranate margaritas are all I want to eat". So "are" is the correct term.

But then again, I scored really low on the grammar section of the SATS.

Also to add, I'm asian, so that makes it worse.

but what if you view "pomegranate margaritas" as a dish. then it would be singular - so "is" would be the solution.
