Isn't "C++" grammatically plural?

The last sentence in the first paragraph uses the singular form with "C++". I think this is a typo.

You should provide a link to what you're talking about. The last sentence of the first paragraph?? What paragraph? Where? Be more specific please.

We normal say that C++ "is" instead of C++ "are", though, if that's what you mean. I apologize, but without an example, I don't think we can be sure of what you mean.

I believe you're referring to this: https://www.sololearn.com/learn/CPlusPlus/1606/ Your assumption regarding that particular portion of the sentence is correct. Well done. Although, even if that portion of the statement were to be corrected, it would be wise to note that the rest of the sentence would still be suffering from additional grammatical errors, such as the use of "as well as" where there should be an article (and), or perhaps a simple ampersand (&), instead. This additional example is one out of a countless amount of others regarding the various types of grammatical errors that can be found within/throughout every lesson/tutorial. Give it some time, though. The developers have a list of priorities. They have to satisfy their to-do list in a priority-based order, rather than moving through it using a FIFO-based method. Feel free to submit your feedback/tips using the "feedback" feature provided via the Settings menu located at the top-right corner of your default SoloLearn menu (the interface displayed after opening the mobile application). Cheers.

My apologies, my fellow solo learners. I assumed my response was linked to my lesson: C++ Basic Concepts --> Variables --> 1st Lesson(?) Starting with: Define all variables* "C++ offer" should be "C++ offers" As I am a solo learner I feel we can make our modes of communication better. Maybe the comment link from the very page you comment on can be obvious for others. Just trying to help.

Thank you all for your help with this, my first real talk with the community. I see now I was using the wrong button on my phone app for responding to a page. I have seen so many mistakes and maybe I can figure a way to help proof read.
