Some people might use single quotes. What is it supposed to mean?

Grammatically it's okay' but it's not true.

What does he or she mean by a 'singular verb', I wonder?

@Tes yeux noirs,

I assumed one with a singular subject-.I,he,she, it, etc-

Either that, or the first, second and third person singular, perhaps? - I go; you go; he goes... (only about one third of these end in 's')

I doubt he or she will answer.

It also ignores the second person singular--i go, thou goest, he goes. Of course, we no longer use the second person singular, but it is a valid objection to the seeming thesis of the thread.

We don't use the obsolete form; we use the modern form which is identical to the second person plural. This is how it is explained in UK schools.
