State the reasons why "You lacks" is incorrect.

Any sentence where "you" is the subject automatically following it up with any verb ending with "s" (layman terms) is just plain wrong.
Otherwise you will be seeing strange sentences like..
1) You jumps everyday. (incorrect)
2) You runs to school. (incorrect)
3) You follows wrong logics. (incorrect)

Saddest part of this, is that I probably have to specify these are incorrect sentences.

lucasalves:

For these reasons..... "You" is a second person pronoun. You don't follow those with verbs ending with "s". Kindly read the resource attached to this post and learn.

In English, the -s is only added to regular verbs in the present tense when the subject of the verb is a third person singular subject. This -s is different from the plural -s. Do not confuse the two. The subject "Lisa and Ronald" is a third person plural subject, so the verb does not get an -s.Aug 2, 2018

So, according to your logic. "lacks" is not plural?

Lacks is a plural noun. You used "lacks" (a third person present verb after a second person pronoun "you" as a verb. That is simply against the rules. Learn to differentiate between a plural noun and a plural verb. Like I said before, find any sentence on the internet with the words " that you lacks", guaranteed you won't find one.

Just so you don't blow up your brain, here is a rule of thumb for you.
"any of" (a large set of people), hence the pluralisation of the verb "lack".
"that you" (a specific second person pronoun), hence the singular verb "lack".
This should be easy enough for even a toddler to comprehend.

That implies that whenever "YOU" is used as second person pronoun, the verb that should go with it should be in singular form? Then, we ought to say "You is rich " instead of "You are rich" because the auxiliary verb "is" is the singular verb and that is in line with your logic.

You are just contradicting yourself, you told me earlier on that the verb "lacks" can not be used after the the pronoun "you" and I posted an example. Now, you are telling me that "expect if the sentence has the word "of, the verb "lacks" can not be used. I believed you have seen that the example I posted contains the word "of", so you now decided to put the word "of" as part of the conditions.

In other words, whenever "You" is used as a specific second person pronoun, the verb that should go with it must be a singular verb. It also implies that it is wrong to say "You are fat" rather we should say "You is fat". This is because "are" is the plural form of the verb "is".

You are now requesting that I should post another sentence where "that you lacks" is used, who knows what will be your next excuse.
I want to thank you for your audience and the knowledge you passed across, also I am happy that you improved greatly in your grammatical expressions as I noticed that you wrote in paragraphs lately and I also noticed cohesion in your writeup unlike before.

Still waiting for an example where "that you lacks" is used. You can try but you won't distract from the main point. Reply with a screenshot and then I will address all your gibberish.

This was (an action in the past that has ended), hence "This was interesting" because it's no longer.

We are talking about 3rd person present verbs here ("lacks", stop confusing yourself with "singular and plural". Notice the use of the word "pluralisation" (doubt you even know the meaning), different from plural verbs. Present verbs include "s", this doesn't mean they are in the plural form. ( Take note of that last part, that is where you keep confusing yourself).

Funny how you totally think "any of you" and "you" are the same.

Now produce an example with "that you lacks" or like I said take the "L".

GallantDuke:

Wow, here is a resource for you to know the differences between "this and that". "This was" in the sentence referring to an action that used to be interesting and no longer. Here is a little help from the internet for you.

We use “this” to refer to people, things, situations and experiences that are more close to the speaker or very close in time. “This is paired with single or uncountable nouns. We use “that” to refer to people and things, situations and experiences that are more distant to the speaker, either physically or in time.

Look you asked me to post where "This was interesting" is used, I did with more than enough examples. I asked you to post where "that you lacks" is used, you posted "any of you lacks" and ran away like a fowl. How are those two things the same.
You even tried to pass off your own sentence as a scenario where "that you lacks" is used instead of producing a decent reference.

I did not even start that sentence with "You lacks understanding" like you claimed. Let me post the screenshot of that comment.

By now I'm pretty sure you know you are dead wrong and probably too arrogant to admit your mistakes and move on like a man (that last word in this case is subjective).

Now let me laugh at you and give you examples based on what you claim is "correct" English.

Saying "it is obvious to me that you lacks" is the same as saying.

1) It is obvious to me that you jumps.
2) It is obvious to me that you sees.
3) It is obvious to me that you reasons.

Those are incorrect sentences in case you think they are.

The word "lacks" is the plural form of "lack", that is according to Goggle.
I didn't remember saying that "any of you" and "you" are the same. I only posted that quotation when you requested that I should show you an example where "lacks" is used after "you".
Lastly, I didn't say you were wrong when you said "this was interesting", I only requested for elucidation on the correctness of the statement and also gave my own ideas which are correct according to your source.

Well I haven't seen a screenshot (I requested) where "that you lacks" is used. I am just going to assume you know by now you are wrong. Arrogance is a disease.

And a quote from you..."It will also be nice if you will educate me on the correctness of this comment "This was interesting"." Thought a "proud erudite" would know this kind of stuff.

"It will also be nice if you educate me on the correctness of this comment" (There is simply no need for the double use of "will" in this sentence, it is at best superfluous).

Man everyone can make the occasional mistake, I use my phone for typing a lot of research work and usually I follow up the word "quality" with "is" which as you know Samsung keyboard stores frequently used words in the order they are used.
I have made more than one comment following "demand and quality" with are.

I am not ignorant or arrogant enough to defend a grammatically incorrect sentence for four days as you did with "that you lacks". I know you are desperately trying to find something to latch on to but the difference between us is as clear as day and night.

You defended "that you lacks" as a correct statement for more than four days and the moment you were exposed you quickly scrolled through previous comments to find petty mistakes. Take your "L" like a man, you got egg on your face.

Note: If it was really down to fine margins, I would say "am is not used in placed of I am or I'm".

Here is a source from Google.
I'm is the contraction of “I am”, whereas am is simply the verb with no pronoun before it. ... Proper English requires the pronoun before the verb. Using the contraction (I'm) is the less formal (but still correct) way to say it.

You defended the verb "is" as the appropriate verb sir although not for a long period of time like I did, maybe you have forgotten. Taking about scrolling through our previous comments, I didn't do anything like that, I just asked so as to know if truly the verb "is" is the right verb to use and not to ridicule you.
I think it is high time you stopped seeing my comments as an avenue to ridicule you. I debated for so long with you on the issue of "you lacks" so that you could come up with concrete points, so that whenever I am debating anywhere, l will have facts to buttress my point.
I think I debates with the view to improving my knowledge and not to ridicule anybody. Like I said before, you actually defended "is" but unlike I, you defended it for a short period of time. I think we are striving for perfection of the language, even the native speakers do make mistakes while speaking.

I defended the use of "is" after words like demand and quality when you seemed to suggest only "are" could follow those words. I wasn't defending my own use of "is" after comparing the two things.
