    No, it's not grammar. It's just unconventional.

    If you were posting on a Manchester United fan site, I agree the correct convention would be “are”.

    In the US, as to the Houston Rockets, I think its debatable whether it is “are” or “is”. Certainly, when the sentence is spoken, i would expect that american convention would be “The Houston Rockets are the greatest team on earth.”

    As written, I think convention is likely most often “are”, but I could see a more formal or academic paper going with “is”. The Utah Jazz is the dirtiest team in NBA history would be correct. Edit - the Houston Rockets ending with a plural would make “is” a little funny sounding, but grammatically correct I think.

    Anyway, i enjoy kicking around el conquistador more than being a grammar nerd.

    I am not disputing that you are right about what convention is, which is why I thanked you and corrected it. I'm just saying it's convention, not grammar.

    English is not my native language, so I will make mistakes from time to time, and I appreciate being corrected.

    lol your link is not helping your argument

    I will let you guess why.

    Try the below with "United Nations".

    When deciding whether to use the verb is or the verb are, look at whether the subject noun in the sentence is plural or singular. If the noun is singular, use is. If it is plural or there is more than one noun, use are.

    It's convention.

    any chance the OP wants to apologize for spreading propaganda?


    The real Matthew Metro responds to the fake video being circulated using his name.


    https://www.yahoo.com/news/viral-attack-walz-features-fake-153313137.html

    “It’s obviously not me: The teeth are different, the hair is different, the eyes are different, the nose is different,” said Metro, 45, who has not previously spoken publicly. “I don’t know where they’re getting this from.” Metro showed The Post his Hawaii driver’s license to confirm his identity.

    Metro said he was first alerted to the video by an old friend based in Minnesota. “I know this is fake,” he said the friend remarked in the text message last week. Metro said he had since been inundated by messages from friends and relatives, all of whom recognized that he was not the individual in the video.

    He said he had “no idea” why he had been targeted for inclusion in the video. He speculated that his dormant accounts on Facebook and other platforms may have been harvested for images and information about his background and interests.

    In November, he said, he plans to vote for Harris and Walz.

    I find the game so tired in 2024. Are any uncommitted voters moved by the almost-completely-obviously fake stories?
    Just some far right people who are starved for anything negative about Dems, like some of our regulars around these parts. And that's fine, but ... who else?

    I guess the aim is to dissuade a few fence-sitters who were going to vote for Harriz & Walz until a slightly sketchy story made it into their periphery and these voters just sit out the election. That would make sense as a goal of such bullshit.

    These things just get more and more obvious though, from the team that brought you "folks, this is real" or whatever, back when Obama was having gay sex in backseats of cars or some nonsense (and never mind who would care anyway).

    I think you owe us an apology for spreading Russian propaganda on this site. Do you have anything to say about your actions which was literally serving the interests of the Russians???

    Agreed, this is going to end up ruining someone`s reputation and or career after it is found out that it was FAKE......and people are so quick to rush to judgment that some story or meme is real and post it for their "gotcha" moment.

    Or at least just add another option. "This is literally fake."

    I was never happy with the two options provided, and clearly, they don't even encompass reality. LOL

    Has it been proven yet that Tim Walz didn't molest students?

    Looks like most people in the poll think he is guilty.
