It has been a very sad last couple of days for the Center. We unfortunately have to say goodbye to our right-hand woman, Kim Westcott. Kim has been the most amazing Office Assistant, co-worker, friend, and part of the Chapman Center family for last almost 2 years... (1/3)

Hey #linguistics twitter folk who know more about syntax than me - a student wants to know why in English we use plural nouns when zero is the determiner, as in "there were zero chairs in the room." Can you help a sociophonetician out?
