Congratulation VS Congratulations

[Polyester]

When we want to say someone get a better result from the exam, how can we use the correct word?

Tom got a better result from the exam, his English exam got A+.
Then, his friends,
Mary said that "Congratulation!" or "Congratulations!"

Which one is correct to use?

It's congratulations. There's a typo in the thread title.

I don't think the title has a typo.

It does in post #2. I don't know how that happened!

The thread title can be changed at will.

It does in post #4 and #5 too.

It was wrong in the original post. I changed it but forgot to mention it.

How did you change it, Matthew? I thought only moderators could do that.

Re:Oh dear, title glitch!

Yup. It can be changed at will as you can see from this post. Heading to Mods Chat to see if we can get this sorted!

Oh, boy! I can do it!

:shock:

Re: So can I

I've alerted the admins but it's the weekend and it could be that it's another glitch from the last update.

It's impossible, I tell you

If I can do it, it has to be too easy.

Can this not be stopped? It could lead to rather confusing threads.

I'm not sure. I have always seen the box in that top secret location that takes years of advanced geek efforts to find. I will see if it's a setting that can be turned off.

Re: It's impossible, I tell you

I noticed it the day I joined this forum.

Re: It's impossible, I tell you

I thought it had always been there, which suggests it's low-risk.

Re: It's impossible, I tell you

We (=members excluding mods and administrators) can't change the title of the original post after all, can we? It won't be a big problem, I guess.

No, you can't.
