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?
-
There is no debate about this. There are rules when to use each one. When referring to the individuals banded together in a group, use [i]are[/i]: Bungie are going to the store. When referring to Bungie as one entity, use [i]is[/i]: Bungie is a private game developer.
