The word commodity is a collective noun (not just singular) and can equally mean multiple things - especially the way it is used in that definition.

In that context it means ANY commodity - e.g, gold is a commodity but is hardly a singular thing. Wheat is a commodity similarly. Meat is a commodity also and there are many differing kinds of meat.

This is a pointless sidetrack you keep trying to pursue (your M.O. we now know). Perhaps you'd rather let all us peons know how the CRS is not biased.

Gold, wheat, and meat are commodities (plural). Gold is a commodity (singular), as is wheat and meat.

Then stop replying with crap and I won't have to correct you!

So now you want me to prove a negative. You are the one who claimed they are biased. Prove it.
