mjmooney Posted November 30, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 30, 2022 On 16/10/2021 at 10:32, bickster said: Google "Are collective nouns singular or plural" You might be dismayed at some of the answers, especially those from American dictionaries / grammar websites. An ancient BBC answer way down the first page of results gave the best answer imo This again. The thing is, these 'singularists' get tripped up by their own inconsistency. I just saw this comment on a YouTube vid: Quote Wishbone Ash was so underrated! They were a GREAT band!! If you've never heard their music before, check out their song TIME WAS off their ARGUS album. I wonder where they are today? Totally plural (they were/their music), apart from that egregious 'was' in the opening sentence. If that is correct, and Wishbone Ash is a 'singular' band, then the whole thing should read: Wishbone Ash was so underrated! It was a GREAT band!! If you've never heard its music before, check out its song TIME WAS off its ARGUS album. I wonder where it is today? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like "you" was always plural ("thou" was the singular). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Work man in the house at the moment, he listens to radio x and Jesus, it’s dog shit. Mainstream late 90s and 2000s “indie” absolutely painful to listen to. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there one called Magic? The cheesiest hits from the 70s, 80s and 90s. Orrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Heart is bearable, Capital is the worst of the lot. Absolute ear rape. My old job played it all the time, this job is better though some clearing in the woods has just turned the TV over to a western rather than stick the football on. I **** hate westerns.

The Fun Factory Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Working in the public sector meaning that is now virtually impossible to arrange meetings until the new year. I can understand if its the last week before Christmas, but its still nearly a month away ffs. It also makes January even worse as you have catch up for the month before.

Xela Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I used to like listening to BRMB, when it was a local station. Now, I think most are just broadcast from London. I always have the radio on at home when i'm working - Absolute 90s is my current choice. Sometimes i'll switch to 80s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
