Are words correctly used?

0It was a 01b00gruesome sight:02b00 the01b00 look02b00 on the faces of those who died.02br
02br
00Is 'gruesome sight01b00:'02b00 with a colon correct? 02br
02br
00Should it be 01i00looks02i00 instead of 'look' since the word 'faces' appears later in the sentence?02br
02br
00Thanking you very much.0-

00I suppose the colon is possible, but I would go for a simple comma. If the look is the same look, then leave it singular.0-

0"Look" and "looks" are both acceptable for facial appearance, while the colon is perfectly used there as it fulfils one of its uses in introducing the logical consequence, or effect, of a preceding fact.02br
