There is nothing boring about me for I hang out with peopel of the same level of intelligent as mine. It is very simple. It is like asking the question "What do you get in the hydrolysis of Sodium Chloride (household salt)?" The answer should NOT be "Why not do hydrolysis of Potassium Chloride?". I bet it is difficult for you to understand. Not that you would understand any of this but here is what happenes when water is added to NaCL (Sodium Cholride). http://www.wou.edu/las/physci/ch412/hydrolysis.htm |

Just because I didn't add the clarifier "for breakfast" onto my sentence doesn't mean it wasn't implied. Learn better English. So meat for breakfast is okay, but no fish or fatty pork. Ok, how about chicken or beef? Bake yourself a damn chicken chicken breast cutlet. Oh, wait. That's not a "typical western breakfast" item. > You just proved exactly what I was talkign about.

So, clearly, "The Beatles is performing" is correct, correct? It's nice when things are easy. :-) In an effort to exceed both of you in pedantry, I looked up the word "straits". It is both singular and plural. One may refer to the "Strait of Gibraltar" or "Straits of Gibraltar", and both are correct. You could also go on vacation and refer to visiting "two straits". > >> A little googling reveals the phrase "Chelsea, who defeated" has > >> 20 times more hits than "Chelsea, which defeated" and 200 > >> times more hits than "Chelsea, that defeated". > > Is Chelsea a place or a person? "Chelsea" is a very attractive young woman, the girlfriend of the son of a friend of ours. My dictionary fails to back me up on this, however. My dictionary thinks it is the name of a couple of locations. I'll use "Seattle" as an example. My wife and I met there while attending four years of college. However, it was named after a person. Thus, it can be unclear from the context as to which is meant, the city or the person the city was named for. -- Dan Abel Petaluma, California USA |

Dire Straits is ONE (single) rock group. So, >>"is" is appropriate. Dire Straits *is* performing. > >That would be the American usage, yes. I think you are confusing "common usage" with "correct." "Usage" can be the lowest common denominator, like a text message or the abandoning of spelling, commas and apostrophes by the "language challenged" products of modern education's social engineers. A good example of this dumbing down is: "between you and I." Only a total ignoramus would say, "between I and you" or "give it to I, me want it." But "between you and I" is in common use throughout the British media (including The Times, The Guardian and the BBC). Another example is the mispronunciation of words like vulnerable (now "vun-rah-bul") and jewellery (now jool-ree), etc, etc. It may be common, but it sure as hell isn't correct. "Correct" is the standard by which the language is celebrated, practiced and preserved, not that by which it's brought down to that lowest common denominator.. Treating a singular, non-personal, common noun, such as a company, a university, a group, a club or a team, etc, as if it were a plural, personal noun is simply not correct English, regardless of its common usage. >>>>>"I trust the evidence-based medicine >>>>>project at Oxford, who say it may make a significant (but small) >>>>>difference ... " > >>>> The subject is "project", which is a collection of people. >>>> This is what leads to "who say...". > >>"Project" is an "it" not a they or who. > >I bet they think of themselves as a they. Of course "they" think of "themselves" as "they." The point is, do "they" think of themselves as the project or the project as themselves? I bet they don't say, "The project are going well and the team are very proud of them." It sounds equally silly in the singular: "The project is going well and the team is very proud of her or him (take your pick)." Not convinced. Then how about: "The project who are up for an award are very proud of themselves." As "sf" so rightly pointed out, a "project" is an "it." "The project is up for an award and the team members are very proud of themselves." >Another example, in the U.S. you'd say, "Bank of America >is in merger talks..." but in the U.K. you'd say "Barclays are >in merger talks...", as in the following: > >http://www.prlog.org/10174314-atlas-...ger-talks.html That still doesn't make it correct. >If it can be construed as a collection of people, it's likely >to be a plural subject in British usage.

The problem is that this is simply more verbiage. You are not presenting anything authoritative that might cause a speaker of the language to change their mind about what's correct and what isn't. Fortunately this question is treated in Fowler's "Modern English Usage", under the category "nouns of multitude": Such words as _army, fleet, Government, company, pack, crowd, mess, number, majority_ may stand for either a single entity or the individuals who compose it, and are called nouns of multitude. They are treated as singular or plural at discretion. He goes on to detail circumstances where one or the other might be preferred; he prefers "the Cabinet are agreed" but also prefers "the Cabinet is divided". It is quite a long discussion. In any case, "Barclays are...", "Chelsea are...", and other examples in this thread are acceptable, as they involve "nouns of multitude". I hope r.f.c. are now satisfied on this point. Steve |

Count me out. Wow, you trimmed out my reference to Fowler's which completely, utterly contradicts what you're trying to claim, just to say this? Like I said, if you're so convinced on this, get some facts to back you up. Steve |

I don't understand why you're so convinced of this when a tiny amount of research reveals it's untrue. These nouns of multitude are precisely the ones that may be either singular or plural. I suspect there must be some exposure to misinformation to make you believe this so ardently. It doesn't help, of course, that when English literature is imported into the U.S., the publishers re-edit it to correspond to their concept of American usage. Steve |

Really? That reminds me of a few of *my* accomplishments, as I wrote some time ago: I won the Nobel Prize in Mathematics the same week I erected Superman's Fortress at the North Pole and worked out the time-share land deal with Santa Claus. That weekend I won the world chess championship and the Kumite, then Angelina Jolie and I thwarted the world-domination plans of a pair of supercriminals known only as "Pinkie and The Brain." Bob |
