Obviously the first is correct grammar. It’s also factually wrong, but that’s a separate matter.

@MartinII but isn't Yolk singular and plural ?like the sheep is withe and the sheep are white ?

MartinII · 70-79, M

@KALIS No. Plural is yolks.

I've read that it can be both but it sounds better as is. @KALIS

@Spoiledbrat except the Yolk of an egg is not white , lol

@KALIS Yolk is singular therefore you use IS. Yolks is plural and you would you ARE for plural

It's a joke. @Jenny1234

@Spoiledbrat why would her question about grammar be a joke?

MartinII · 70-79, M

@Jenny1234 Her? 🤔

@MartinII the op my reply was directed at who thinks yolk is both plural and singular. I didn't tag anyone else

@Jenny1234 I think he’s a man, based on his profile. But who knows! No matter.

@MartinII you think that's a picture of a man?

MartinII · 70-79, M

@Jenny1234 No. But I have read the profile, and the name. My avatar is a church, but I’m no priest!

@MartinII doesnt matter. I didn't make any comments toward his/her gender

We missed that yolks are actually yellow lol. I missed it too. lol@Jenny1234
