So - if so
Best of luck to Ira - I would have liked to have seen him at Grimsby Town another season - think he’s got a good brain and some striking skill - given some service.

Quoted from RichMariner
Take it from someone with an English degree, a dissertation in the history of spelling and years reading books on the mechanics of our language…

English is flexible as hell. You can refer to teams or clubs either using the singular or plural. Generally, it’s ‘Grimsby are’ when talking about team performance, and ‘Grimsby is’ when talking about business performance i.e. financial. Even then, that’s not a hard-and-fast rule - just like there’s never been a rule to say you shouldn’t split an infinitive, or that you can’t start a sentence with a conjunction like ‘and’ or ‘because’.

Written language is designed to reflect the way we speak. So if people say ‘Grimsby are’ when the pedants think it should technically be ‘Grimsby is’ then just write whatever sounds correct. That’d be my advice.

The one rule I’d suggest we all remember, though, is to chill out and stop being so pedantic with each other.


English degree hey…

So he’s wrong with authority. 👍🏼

Language and words have evolved over the ages.

Many words that you would consider to be very normal and well established English, were once slang and ill thought of speak, that found their way into English language and accepted now as the norm

So sorry can't see any clues in there! Other than someone who's English called Norman so?

We used to comment on “loosing” games.

I was told years ago that it is incorrect to start a letter “I am writing to you”.  This is self-evident and you would not start a letter “I am typing to you”.
