Pizza, unicorns and cosmic “are my things” or “are my things”?
Which one is the right one?
1. How did you introduce the concept of “social engineering” in India? Pizza, unicorns, and Cosmos are my thing bzz.
Why are there so many people complaining about their bill? Pizza Sauce, My Cosmos, Pizza Sticks are all my things.
This is Charlie Gladstone’s blog February
2018. An example from February 2018.
Cabins. This is an online reservation service. What is my thing at the moment? We have been rebuilding (completely) a ancient cabin in Scotland… shows
the use of ‘are my thing, which is fairly standard, but what about when there are closely related (
Cabins old and new are my thing/s Rivers
and canals are my thing/s ) or
disparate (
Fast cars and fast women are my thing/s ) compound
subjects? What are some interesting idiomatic usages?
What are some suggestions for teachers to improve English grammar?
Your example about cabins describes a singular thing, yet used in an abnormal way, one which places more personal attachment and interest in the subject, likely one that transcends far beyond mere ownership of the thing in reference.
What should I use pluralized in my question? How would it go about disobeying the intended meaning of the words? Removing the S make things more immaterial and ethereal, implying that this one thing constitute a significant part of your life. Is there any specific instance of any of this as well? In (personal) fact pluralizing thing detracts entirely from the inner significance behind the semantics.
Is it implied (in a sense I suppose) that what you’re referencing is already known, likely a list of nouns that are possessed by you in some form, given you provide little detail or context to the complete writing.
Given we don’t want to detract from the unique context this coinage can bring to the overall literal comprehension, I would advise never using pluralized forms no matter how many are referenced.

What does my thing mean?
While I feel as if it’s more common for each person to have that single “thing,” I imagine some people could have more than one “thing,” and refer to them in the plural.
Is the question ambiguous over underlined trump assumption? Do people consider themselves to have only one thing?
Why do I find some other aspect of the sentence odd.
Why is saying “i like pizza” more common than saying “i like pizza”? ” Unless somebody is pointing out a specific countable number, it’s more often used as a mass noun and not a nutrient.
Which article would it be easier to read in front of cosmos than not?
What if we discussed pizza, unicorns, and the cosmos, which is ours?
How do I keep my things under control: Pizza, unicorns, and cosmos?
After how many “things” do we have, both sentences are correct.
Is it possible to design a unicorn as a pizza?
I’m famous in pubs for getting drunk and passing out. How can I stop these habits? (FOR the record, I am not… I am an identifier, and my… life.) In my mind and everybody else’s mind, these three things are closely related.
Doing that at one time is my thing? What is this??? Goeing out, getting drunk, passing out. I do terribly! Why I have a sequence of events?
How is pizza associated with unicorns and the universe? Not everyone has heard of the video where the context is not there yet.
How would you explain the beauty of the cosmos without stating what is the mystery behind it? (Again for the record, I don’t..) As with the other example, doing that is my. one thing. We
are married. We have two children. (They both love different things.)
