I think that when used as a substitute for a dollar bill, the word 'single(s)' is an acceptable use as a singular or plural noun. Or perhaps that's just the modern evolution of english and isn't officially recognized.

In that use, single would still be referring to the implied noun "bill" or "dollar", so single(s) would still be an adjective.

Dollar bill argumentees.....

I don't think so.
Even in a one word usage of "what is your marital status".. it's still an adjective describing your marital status, which is the noun.

amazing how much of that **** I remember. The english teachers who failed me for skipping their classes would be proud.

It's pretty common to use as a noun as a plural. i.e., all of the singles at the single's bar.

I don't think that's correct.

Lots of noun usages of the word. Now whether the girl who created/posted that image intended it as one of those usages, that's questionable in my mind. Nevertheless, the guy responding opened himself up to looking ironically stupid with his smug response.

All of the singles [implied people] at the single's [possessive of people/persons] bar. Implied nouns FTW!
