I posted the links without comments. It was because I had an appointment and was in a hurry.
Is 'comments' correct? Or should I use 'comment'?
I'm not sure because it is correct to say "No comment". Correct me if I'm wrong.
Many thanks.
"Without comment" is better, but in an informal sense no-one would mind if you said "I posted the link without (adding any) comments"
Thanks, Mc Tag.
When someone asks for my opinion, should I say "No comment" or "No comments"?
Many thanks.
"No comment" is the normal one to choose.
That would be a shorter form, I would suggest, of something like "I have no comment to make"
But the difference is rather a fine one: for example, a questioner might ask "Have you any comments to make?" (maybe hoping for a variety of them), and so I would say the plural form is not incorrect in many cases.
