Ask anyone who is learning English as a second language what they think the most-maddening oddity of the language is and you are bound to get several different answers (there are, after all, dozens of exceptions to the “rules” of English). But here’s one that repeatedly comes up, even among native speakers of English: Why on Earth do you say “a pair of pants” when the “pants” in question are only one item? (Note: We are using “pants” in the American sense here—as in trousers, not undergarments.) Well, there are a couple of explanations floating around.

According to some, the phrase “pair of pants” harkens back to the days when what constituted pants—or pantaloons, as they were originally known—consisted of two separate items, one for each leg. They were put on one at a time and then secured around the waist. Calling them a pair of pantaloons, or pants, as they were eventually known, made sense when there were two components. The phrasing was retained even after pants were made into one complete garment. However, there doesn’t seem to be much evidence in reference sources to support this theory.

Here is something that can be readily confirmed to explain this linguistic oddity, although it may raise more questions than it answers: the word pants is a plurale tantum. The Oxford English Dictionary defines plurale tantum, which is Latin for “plural only,” as a “noun which is used only in plural form, or which is used only in plural form in a particular sense or senses.” Bifurcated items (things that can be divided into two), such as pants, fall into this category. Think of items that are usually referred to in plural—often preceded by “pair of” or something similar, even when there is only one item: pliers, glasses, scissors, sunglasses, tweezers, etc. So, pants is a type of noun that is used only in its plural form, even when there is only one item being discussed.

omg so good , I can't wait for chapter 2 I can't wait till he gets to take her panties off

To add on to what Foolscap said, and in defense of the author, a thong is a specific type of underwear. Underwear is frequently referred to as a "pair of underwear", much like pants. While it may be incorrect to say she was wearing a pair of thongs, I can see why the author may have done so.

Also, to really split hairs, people do wear pairs of thongs. On their feet that is.

Great story. Looking forward to the future installments.

Yes, you have a great story line going, it's interesting, arousing and has so much potential. Hopefully, his baby sister will show him she is more mature and capable than he knows. I also hope he lowers his barriers and lets her enjoy herself. Maybe, they will start screwing each other before this is over !! Thanks.

But a good story nonetheless! It has CONTENT.

When determining what my vote would be, I was on the cusp of 4 or 5. So, as I often do, I decided to read the other reviews.

While Mr/Ms Anonymous makes a good point about a "pair" of pants, panties, or even a thong, his/her argument is clouded by his/her heir of superiority and disdain.

Everyone here has a special place - the toilet - for those who camouflage their cowardice by making ANONYMOUS comments.

That said, yes, you deserve a "5" for having to endure it.

Good story. It is fair to say that you have me wanting to read more...

Loved just as it started to get good u left us hanging wanting more. So much better when a story has some build up and doesnt just jump right into the sex. Hope we don't have to wait to long for the next chapter.

Great story so far. Love the build up and actual characters and back story. Nice to see you putting in the effort and can not wait for more of your works to come across the site.

I read the previous comments and they have some good points. The changes of tense within the same sentence makes reading the story more difficult. The English language has many strange rules, and the 'pair of yellow thongs' seemed strange at first until I realized women often wear a 'pair of panties'. Anyway, I think the important thing to remember is the story itself and I think it shows promise even though the writing isn't the best.

Please keep writing. None of the authors on Literotica are professionals and the mean-spirited criticism of a few dullards shouldn't keep you from telling a story you want to share. Thanks, and I look forward to the continuation of your story.

Thanks for all the comments and keep them coming! I have tried looking in the volunteer editor section, with no luck. So if anyone wants to be an editor please let me know. Right now I'm about halfway done with the next chapter. Any suggestions on where the story should go?

I would suggest you have more of the story written before you post, you were just getting to the meat and it ended. I'll lay of the grammar, you've heard enough about that. It's hard to rate because there isn't enough story

Really strong start. Love the backstory and indecision by him. Looking forward to a nice slow build into sexy fun!

Very well done...especially for a first! I already hate waiting for Ch. 02!

I think chapter 2 is complete. I just wanted to see if anybody wanted a sneak peak at it by editing it for me?

Chapter 2 was submitted on Monday so it should be up soon. I am about half way through chapter 3.

It wasn't bad. I actually gave it 5 :3 expecting more soon

Although I am not a big BDsm fan, I am an incest fan. I think you have a very good start on this story. You are doing better than some "English as a second, or third or... language" authors that I have read. I have given you a 4* on this part of the story just because there isn't enough story to really rate yet. Please don't be discouraged, as I am sure you will find someone to assist with editing soon. I have enjoyed the back story, and the characters very much, and I am going to read the 2nd Chapter now. Keep writing.

Also I agree with some of the other commenters. You can always learn from your readers comments, but remember they are only opinions. Opinions are like assholes... everyone has one, and they all stink.

My button, that is constantly pushed on this site, are the "cowards" that criticise, usually negatively, and do so as "Anonymous". That doesn't mean that there comments are not valid, but their judgement should be suspect because of the flaw in their character, pointed out by the fact that they won't stand behind there criticism. Please take heart in the positive comments here and and forge on with your literary quest.

Can't wait to see what happens next

Jessica is a selfish slut!! Brother is a weak wimp
