Yeah. It was Darius that had an off-topic post several months ago on the differences betweek UK and US English. Actually, even before that, Darius and I were in an IM chat session when I called him out on the same thing (I saw a post of his that treated a company name as a plural noun) and then he educated me on how they speak in Australia. |
You know what? A lot of my recent posts treat companies as single entities just to please the majority of readers who read this site. Pull me aside and talk to me in person, and you'll notice that I still speak English the good old-fashioned Australian way.
And why have I done the former? Because no amount of
off-topic posts will avoid threads such as this where someone drags it off-topic to talk about some grammatical point. No offense directed at you, Dazz. I just find it funny. :P Since one of us has to bend to conform to societal standards, I figured I'd do it.
