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 am a grammatical genius. It's "all....is" since all is the subject. Didn't bother to see if anyone else corrected this. I suck at poker though.

[NT!]

30 people ordering a bunch of drinks is only like 120-140 apiece. so a private room would require either a bunch more people or a bunch more pomegranate margaritas. i have to drive to north carolina the next day so it would be tough for me to keep pace there.

Everybody talks about poker at these things but it's mainly just joking about hands or people. Asking for overall strategy advice is kind of dorkish.

Also, unfortunately I can't come to dinner after all: ex-girlfriend is in town and I have to grab dinner. May or may not be available for post-dinner partying.

[Binbs]

A private room requires that we spent for 6 k total at least.

Added NT!, adanthar and AdamBragar to the list. 25 total atm.

hay that's confusing

i think it's 'are'

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

[/ QUOTE ]

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.

[/ QUOTE ]

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.
