Trump needs lesson in basic grammar

-

Re: “Trump won’t say if he’ll accept U.S. vote result,” Oct. 20.

Would someone please take the time to inform Donald Trump that the word “media” is plural? (One medium, two media.)

Incorrect: “The media is plotting against me.”

Correct: “The media are plotting against me.”

Surely, our neighbours to the south deserve a president who has, at the very least, a grade-school understand­ing of the English language.
