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?
-
It's weird for me, I use "is" when talking about companies, e.g. "Bungie is working on 'Destiny'", but when I talk about bands, I use are, e.g. "Imagine Dragons are really good. They're working on a new album." unless the artist is a solo act, such as "Owl City is OK."
