  1. Nov 13, 2008 · English. Nov 13, 2008. #3. Hi. The word "garbage" has no plural form and will always be singular in verb agreement.

  2. Nov 25, 2015 · Garbage is an infrequent word in the UK, 'ya' is also infrequent, 'jail' less so but altogether it's very easy to see that the text in the OP is not British English. If you are familiar with Australian terminology then great, but to someone who isn't, that text looks like an unusual variety of American English that is closer than usual to British English.

  4. Oct 11, 2007 · Bonjour, C'est dans le cadre de l'utilisation d'un logiciel pour faire un travail. J'ai la phrase "The Garbage In, Garbage Out principle still applies".

  5. Feb 5, 2020 · A "garbage rod" is a low quality rifle. I've only ever heard it used in conjunction with the Russian WWII Mosin Nagant. The Mosin was known for its inaccuracy, but apparently was reliable enough for closer range shooting. The same inaccuracy claim was made for the U.S. Government 1911 .45 semi-automatic pistol, but that pistol remains as a top ...

  6. Mar 18, 2010 · Mar 18, 2010. #2. Litter is rubbish that is thrown onto the street. To 'litter' is a verb that specifically means not desposing of your rubbish in bins. When you drop the end of your cigarette, or leave your food wrapping on a bench, or throw a beercan out of the window it is 'littering'. To me, trash is the AmericanEnglish version of rubbish.

  7. Apr 16, 2009 · Oct 25, 2013. #17. JulianStuart said: A dustbin is one specific kind of "rubbish bin". Which is precisely my point. A garbage can (or trash can) is not just one specific type of waste receptacle. If pressed, I would say instead that, based on the information given above, a dustbin is one specific kind of garbage can.

On the other hand, I've noticed that a lot of native speakers tend to use "There is" for everyhting! Even when it comes to plural -''There is a lot of people..'' - which I have no clue if it is considered grammatically correct.

  9. May 21, 2009 · In British English, "rubbish" is used more often than either "trash" or "garbage." As for litter, I don't think I've ever heard it used in American English to mean anything other than (a) trash that has been improperly discarded outside of a trashcan (e.g. thrown on the ground), or (b) a group of animal offspring (e.g. "a litter of cats").

  10. Oct 14, 2012 · Oct 14, 2012. #2. I would not say 'On the floor is garbage' because it is not the normal way of expressing this idea. It is not idiomatic. I'd say 'There's garbage on the floor' or more likely 'There's some garbage on the floor' which would express the idea that there's a certain amount of an uncountable noun and is highly idiomatic.
