About the name

Shouldn't it be "...stabbings"? Wouldn't it just be a stabbing if one person were stabbed, verses 20 people who were wounded? --Matt723star (talk) 22:40, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fair point; but I guess that, if we did change the title like that, we would also have to change the titles of articles about shootings from "shooting" to "shootings", since more than 1 person got shot. This is what I was thinking when I created this page--we say "shooting" to talk about an act of shooting multiple people, so we should be able to do the same with "stabbing".

Yeah, I get that but, isn't that a matter of grammar? I mean, when you say a shooting, you think more than one person was shot and/or more than one round was fired at multiple people, verses a stabbing, like a prison stabbing, where one person was stabbed, whereas multiple people who were stabbed would be stabbings. I don't know myself. I get your point, but still... --Matt723star (talk) 23:45, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
