Hello everyone.
Today I was trying to express how the mechanics of a game worked to a friend, but I noticed that I had used the word “mechanic”, as in:
“It’s an interesting mechanic, especially after you get used to it.”
I have used that word but generally plural, as in “game mechanics”, and such. I have seen people use it like that, but somehow when I used it on singular it felt a bit weird.
My question is, can the word mechanic be used in this case, does it sound weird?
