Does you want to read my blog?

I saw this post scrolling through an app, Instagram, recently. This account, "thegoodquote" is an account that posts uplifting quotes and sayings. The account was really encouraging up until now when I noticed this grammar disaster! The quote reads: "Love doesn't come easy but lust do. Some nights, I settle for feeling anything at all. We all do." The first thought that popped into my head was "did I just read 'lust do?'"

The word "do" should be replaced with "does," and the quote should read: "Love doesn't come easy but lust does. Some nights, I settle for feeling anything at all. We all do." The reasoning for using "does" is because "lust" is singular and "does" is singular. "Does" can also be replaced with "it" as the subject which would properly be paired with "does." For example, it does vs. it do.

I think the most worrisome factor is how many people saw and liked this photo! I wonder if everyone noticed the grammar mistake just as I did. Then, I realize probably not everyone did and this is just a good way to spread grammar misuse! This is really concerning.
