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] xGHOST270x I iz gud at grammar. It really depends on the subject and what is being refferred to. " The British are coming" sounds better to ne than ' the British is coming". Conversely, " The Texas rangers are going to win the Division' sounds better than ' the Texas rangers is going to win the division".[/quote] But The British, while it is an accepted title, is really an adjective. Apples to Apples would be "Britain are coming". See, sounds weird. Same with The Rangers, while a single unit, have a pluralized adjective-like name. But if you went with "Texas is going to win", that sounds correct. [Edited on 01.08.2013 8:56 AM PST]
