Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but should the "What's the name mean" in the about section be "What does the name mean?" or "Whats the name mean?"
The first is "proper" the second is colloquial. At least that's what I thought.
- keithasaurus 9y agoIt's not proper grammar :) Proper grammar would be "What does the name mean?" It's written this way simply because it's a question I've heard a lot, and when people say it, they usually combine "what" and "does" and say "What's the name mean?"
- jszymborski 9y agoThe 's contraction can mean 'is', 'does' or 'has'. In this case "What's the name mean" expands to "What does the name mean". "Whats the name mean" is grammatically incorrect. :)
