Well, now that we have discussed "pop" Vs "soda", let's dive in to the correct use of plurals:
Enland: The crowd are going wild!
America: The crowd is going wild!
Ummmm.... maybe I'm just a crazy American, but there's only 1 crowd in that sentance. I don't care how many people are in the crowd, it's still just one crowd. And it is going wild. Geez, for people who invented the language you'd think English people would know how to use it better. :p
well - i don't know how you can argue against their english - it is after all the english that American english came from. Sure some things may sounds wierd but thats only because American english is slang and well...incorrect. But hey whatever works.
Well.... I can argue because "crowd" is singluar. "crowds" is the plural form.Quote:

I can see it if you wrote it like that. Maybe you were watching a baseball game and a pre-season football game on two TV's or something....
"Mircosoft are making software!"
"Sony are working on PS3 development!"
What the Hell?!
I agree with Chibs.
Maybe is is the plural form and are is the singular form and America completely fucked it up...
maybe. Or maybe it was created "there", they made mistakes, and our "slang" is the correction of their proliferated errors.Quote:
