leosgonewild:What’s the grammar mistake?
"You think we can slap some oak on this thing?"
that makes sense for this forum, but not for an official "limited series launch" on insta. agree it is not tolerable because it shows how lazy the effort is.
apologies: was
The use of have versus has, but you'd never use "has" after a plural anyhow, so neither should be used in this context.
More like "Only 10 units were produced making this a very unique colourway"
Nitpicking, eh!

No, nitpicking would be to complain that "colorway" means a *combination* of colors, plural, in which a style or design is made available. The BeoMarketer is afflicted with excess syllabicity.
lawrencejmcook:Something is either unique or it isn’t. There is no such thing as “very” unique.
Or strictly prohibited.

Razlaw:The grammar is perfectly correct. Ten units is plural, thus the proper word is have, not has.
True. But you'd rarely/never use 'have' in this context. Certainly not in the UK. And yes it's totally nitpicking - I don't get the dig at the post at all.
Exactly - this is the one I was referring to. 'Unique' is an absolute state - there are no different levels of it!
Ten units 'have' been made is perfectly correct.
And if my grammar pedantry irritates anyone then I apologise. However, I am the son of a lady who taught English for over 40 years, so this sort of thing was drummed into me from an early age. Sadly, she passed away last Thursday so I feel duty bound to carry on the good grammar fight!
