It's Amazing How Many People Here Don't Know When To Use "Is" Or "Are"
the number of people at this forum (in the world for that matter) who don't
know when to use "is" and "are"
Is = singular
Are = plural.
Sophia Loren is a hot woman.
Sophia Loren is ONE person, singular, so we use is.
Raquel Welch and Sophia Loren are hot women.
Raquel and Sophia are two women, plural, so we use are.
Now, I know there are some oddballs like
Bacon and eggs is a good breakfast.
The reason we use is in this case is because bacon and eggs, as a
breakfast, is considered one thing.
But when I see stuff like "No Wonder NZ are so hard to beat" it drives
me crazy.
NZ (New Zealand) is not a plural. It is ONE country.
You don't say "The United States are a world power". You say "The
United States is a world power". It's one country.
Yeah, I know...I'm going to get a boat load of people telling me what a
so and so I am for posting this and how people don't care how they
write at a forum and yada, yada, yada, all the excuses. And I'm sure
not perfect by any stretch of the imagination.
But for crying out loud, has our communication with the world reached
the point where many of us can't write above a 3rd grade level?
Anyway, give me your best shot.
I know it's coming.
