[FONT="]Dear English teacher:[/FONT]
[FONT="]I have a question about the word “allergy”: Should it always be used in the plural form? For instance, can I say, “My allergy is getting worst” or should it always be “my allergies are getting worse”? What if I was referring to only one case?[/FONT]
[FONT="]I have heard people say “allergies?”(Always plural) when someone sneezes. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Except when it is used before a noun like, allergy season, food allergy and the like.[/FONT]
[FONT="] Thanks [/FONT]
