For my grammar post this week I chose the the often misused term ones. This is an issue I know I have problems with and I constantly remind myself that ones referring to many of something is not correct. The word one by definition is singular. The term "those ones" (which I am guilty of using much too often) is only appropriate when referring to many ones. Such as dollar bills, "snake eyes" on dice, or the more than one of the actual number one. Using the term "those ones" when referring to anything else is not correct.
Interesting.
