It is not rocket science. This diatribe is based on my recent reading and has shown people DO NOT know how to use the words two or twin.

FYI- Twin is two. You do not need the word two in front of the word twin!!! For example, I just read a sentence; ”the room had two twin beds”. Twin beds are two. The only way you would need the word two was if it was two sets of twin beds.


WRONG. A twin bed is ONE bed. A double bed is also ONE bed. The wife and I sleep in a double bed and the two boys each have a twin bed in their room. One for each of two boys. THAT is two twin beds in the same room
Bad grammar is one thing. Knowing what is bad grammar is another. Think of this: A twin is ONLY one person, a set of twins is two persons or two twins.
