Grammar Debate! "Are" or "Is"?
So I hear people say things two different ways. When referring to a company or organization, some people use the verb "are", some "is".
For example:
Bungie ARE being very secretive about Destiny.
OR
Bungie IS being very secretive about Destiny.
I know there are multiple people, but the outfit is singular.
So which is it?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] L00 How do you know if a talking breast is English or American then?[/quote]Talking breast? I'm confused. I know some users are British and some American per their having said so, if that's what you're asking . . . [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Ason Unique [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] RighteousTyrant Pretty sure I notice more Brits doing it than Americans, but maybe I'm just seeing what I want to see. [/quote] Possibly. For some reason I always assume that people who confuse "then" and "than" are American and I put it down to them sounding almost identical when spoken with a Southern drawl.[/quote]Nope, yankees are just as guilty of this as southerners. "Y'all" is a much better red flag for a southerner, IMO, though few people correctly place the apostrophe.
