Patrick,
Now considering that we are all in agreement that it is grammatically possible for the singular to be generic, it is obviously therefore not ‘unusual’ for this to happen. It can be a normal part of grammar.
What kind of logic is this? Because it is grammatically possible that the noun can be generic therefore it is not unusual? Just because it’s possible grammatically does not mean that it is unusual contextaully.
Anti-spam: “back” as in “back up”
