Description
Consistency.
Human reads by scanning and we pick up numbers way quicker than reading the entire sentence.

"SEE THE ONE COMMENT" MAKES NO SENSE

Agreed. This is a simple thing, but confused me at first glance. It's something that shouldn't take a double take.

Similarly, change "No comments yet. Add a comment" to
"0 Comment".
Some commented that "it makes no sense". How about we make it NOT a complete sentence.
Just do something simple:
"0 comment", "1 comment", "2 comments" and so on.

I agree with the comments...Saying, "See the one comment" would be heard as, "See the only comment". If this needed to be changed (which I think is trivial, btw), I would say it could be something like, "See comment #1". But I really don't think it's THAT important, as it does not affect the actual usage of Brainstorm and technically, it is already in proper English.

Actually, now that I think about it, why not just give it a generic, "See comments (x so far)" or something of that nature.

Totally agree.
I'll change this soon.
