I was thinking the same thing!
Glad someone said it!
so a married is a noun? single in the way it was used is an adjective home skilet
Single is a fucking adjective, meaning that it describes something. Please don’t say something if you don’t know what you’re talking about.
single is a verb…your the dumbass!
“Single” in the English language is an adjective, noun, and verb. Therefore, you are all extremely correct, and extremely ignorant for trying to make others feel inferior.
I believe it’s called a substantive. It’s when an adjective is used as a noun.
no, my friend, you are an idiot, single used in their form was a noun, they were referring to a person who has no significant other, and is called a “single”. so in the form they used, – Single; noun, a person/animal with no significant other.
You don’t have to be a 55th generation real englishman to know how to use this: http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/single
“Single” is a noun, aswell as a an adjective and even a verb!
fail is in no way and could never be an adjective. It is a verb.
amazed at the stupidity here. when a person is single (which was obviously the intended meaning), single is an adjective, seeing as it is describing the relationship status of the person. when you say “a single,” it is in reference to a song. is a song now a man who makes jokes about women in the kitchen?
Single can be a noun, and if you read the definition to it you’d realize that in that context it is definitely used as a noun. Idiot.
Also, look to Dzan Patterson on how you owned yourself up the dick with ‘fail’.
Learn English before trying to tear down others.
Then kindly return to your kitchen.
Leigha has the right idea for explaining the answer. But a bit wrong.
“I am single.”
Am, being the linking verb.
Single, being the predicate adjective.
As said before, the word single can be both a noun and a adjective. In this context, it is an adjective describing the marital status of a person.
The noun is “I”
Single can be a noun or an adjective, but they are obviously using it as an adjective.
Single would be a predicate ADJECTIVE in that sentence. Nothing is worse than watching a gang of idiots contradict someone and refuse to acknowledge being wrong.
Stupid Brazilian who is trying to speak english. Go read a grammar. Obviously single, mal-comido. Go spank your monkey sweetie.
You are all single(adjective) you fucks (noun). You are all fucking(adverb) single(adjective). Fuck! (exclamation) Singles (Nound) only blog…
The word fucking is an adjective. You used it to modify a predicate nominative (single). You also misspelled the last “noun”. Strike 3…
Garrett was right. In the sentence, “You are all fucking single,” ‘single’ is a predicate adjective, not a noun (predicate nominative). Had he said, “You are all fucking singles,” ‘singles’ would have been a predicate nominative. ‘All’ is the predicate nominative in this sentence, restating ‘You.’ He used ‘single’ to qualify the subject, not to restate it.
Really? I would like to see the art some time. just the other day I bought a painting from a kid who splashed a few colors on the canvas and produced an inspirational image. It reminded me that life is just a bunch of colors splashed together.
I hope your dripping with sarcasm because if not, then you are retarded.
And also have made me think your life = failure …
art is just really what you make of it
It’s just comical writing so I think that grammar is really not part of the equation. To the writer thanks for the posting we need more laughter in this world
Love this post, actually just read a reddit post about one of these yesterday which made this even funnier, can’t find it though.
It was a facebook reply to someone having this on their wall: “single: (noun) a man who makes jokes about women in the kitchen”.
Reply: “Stupid: (adjective) people who think single is a noun.
9st 1 (Gaaah! Why me? Do I eat in my sleep w/o knowing?), alcohol units 3 (v.g.), cigarettes 1 (Am awaiting accolades for heroic effort), much needed resolution of problem concerning grammar 1.
“Singleton”, f.y.i. is most definitely a noun. So it goes for “singles”, which is used regularly, and a singular version of that which would be, “a single”. Really. Appalled this is not common knowledge. Must ring Shaz and Jude.
how about you all stop calling each others idiot, stupid and dipshit and whtever other condensending words, nouns, adj, substantive..etc… just have a laugh, thats the main reason behind this post, if you’re too genius and too good for everyone else, then get out of this page.
I don’t understand your point. If you are saying “I am…” cannot be followed by a noun, you are wrong. I am a person. I am the mayor. “Person” and “mayor” are nouns. Although, saying “I am single” would make single an adjective, saying “I am a single” implies that it is a noun. It isn’t related to the article “a” though, as one could say, “He is president of the club” He- subject, noun, is- linking verb, president- predicate nominative, noun, of- preposition, the- article (diagrammed as describing club), club- noun, and the prepositional phrase “of the club” would be diagrammed as describing president. Although as far as I know, single is not commonly used in such a context, if we consider possible slang usage, I can understand how it may be used as a noun (similar to “singles.”) Although, in all reality it doesn’t matter because it’s just a joke on a website and it’s funny. If people are so immature that they are offended by this and so they need to discredit it by over analyzing it, they shouldn’t be viewing internet content because it gets much more offensive than this. I’m ranting because I’m bored and I like to show off my ability to diagram sentences because my evil high school teacher made me learn how to do it so I figure I might as well get something out of this deal. Thank you all, and good night.
I am single. “I” is a pronoun. Am is a verb. Single being used as a modifier for “I”. Since it modifies a noun, it is an adjective. As it is located after the verb, it is a predicate adjective. I’m not saying nouns can’t be in the predicate, I’m supporting the point that, in this case, single is an adjective.
I can’t believe I’m taking the time to write a comment and I realize that providing my email will lead to much spam, however:
To everyone, and I mean everyone!… that argued about the grammar used in this… Watever it is…. Is a total loser and sucks a monumental amount of donkey dick, (noun)
You people are crazy. You’re fighting over nouns. Are you people serious? Find something to do with your life, instead of being rude to people you don’t even know.
Everyone posting here about how the stupid arguers have no lives are just as lifeless for taking the time to write that. At least the arguers are participating in an intellectual (if it’s even worth calling it that) discussion instead of making idle posts.
the post was funny but .. when i scrolled down .. i found something more interesting … the “Single” definitions … haha everyone take a chill pill .. unless you’re all single and trying to uphold your dignity ;p
Hahahaha… So funny and so true except the bacon thing because I love all kinds of meat not only bacon and that’s why i’m not vegetarian :P … and I think that diamond is : Forever – jewel thief … Nice idea… http://www.katagogi.com/mid18603746
He, he, he…So true!
haha yeah !
im not a slut. but u wanna get together?? haha just kidding IM NOT A FUCKING SLUT!
Ok lets hook up
Damn! right. LOL
HAha the very last one was good.

What is it then?

nobody says “I am a single.” or “he is a single”
single is an adjective, not a noun.
dick.
its still frickin funny as hell, who cares if the part of speech was off.
I guess it is another one of those words that can just about be whatever you need it to be…such as the word FUCK.
I disagree, people talk about “singles” as a noun. I can see single being used in the same manner.
According the dictionary, single can be used as a verb, adjective, or noun. If you want to disagree with me, go read the dictionary beforehand.
lol ^_^ he mad
Fail is an an adjective, not a noun. I believe you meant, “Therefore, failure.”
Total FAILURE on your part.

it CAN be a noun but it wasnt used as a noun it was used as an adjective you fucking retard
Single can be a noun. Look it up dipshit
A man is a noun. Tard.
“I am single.”
Am, being the verb.
Single, being the noun.
Now you should be in the kitchen AND in school.
Leigha has the right idea for explaining the answer. But a bit wrong.

The people having a hissy fit over grammar on a silly website is funnier than the content itself.

Single is an adjective (in this case). You don’t say “I am house” Do you? No, you don’t. Idk why anyone would think it should be a noun here.

I is an object, am is a verb, house is a noun.
This is Sparta!!!!
I is a pronoun. Am is a verb. House is a predicate nominative. Learn to grammar.
