Regarding definition and grammar,are let and lets used properly…?
Below is a previous question and a previously highest voted answer, at the bottom is my question...
Which is correct?
[Product] let's you [do something awesome].
[Product] lets you [do something awesome].
Or neither?
@jeffmaphone, really, the second sentence is just fine. It’s not fancy, but there’s nothing wrong with it at all. “ inthebushesbook(I changed this word in jeff's quote ;)) lets you connect with long lost friends.”
if let means to give permission to or allow then lets means allows or gives permissions to... then it should read inthebushesbook allows you to connect...then should it be inthebushbook lets you to connect with long lost friends?
