Thats Mean vs. That Means

i do realize that my english is very bad

but at least i know which one is the correct phrase

correct me if i'm wrong but i think "Thats Mean" is grammatically incorrect

all i know is that you put the "s" in "That Means" because the "That" is a singular subject or referring to a singular subject.

it irritates me hearing people saying "Thats Mean"

i mean, come onnnnn... this is a simple phrase. you learned about singular and plural back in primary school... i'm not trying to be an english teacher here but i think a phrase that is being overly cited should be pronounced correctly.

i'm sorry if i offended anybody

but this entry is written out of frustation and a silent anger towards someone who keeps ammending other people's translation (BM - BI) padahal when she/he speaks, keep on saying "Dats Mean". kah kunun mangkali she/he feel so sophisticated saying this phrase. dont u just hate people like this?

i'm(i am) no expert but that's mean = that is mean. so you're right(you are right), it's(it is) wrong. apostrophe is confusing even to the native speakers, apa lagi macam urang kita ;)
