    Poster was unclear in what they were communicating. I get what they’re saying now, but it was easy to read a different meaning.

      No, you just commented without thinking.

      They clearly used the universal “you” and they pluralized the word “plates” making it non personal.

        Most jurisdictions I’m aware of have a plate on the front and back of the car. The plural still reads as a single car with my original reading.

        I fully admit I had the wrong reading with the additional viewpoint. Can you now admit that there are multiple ways to interpret the original post even if my first reading wasn’t the correct one?
