    Web Developer by day. Web developer by night. Photographer on the side. Smart Ass by trait. Human helper and assistant by nature. Grammar Nazi in the BBS.

    [whine]sort of looking for "gigs" and a job on the side, but neither Jeff nor Clutch want to give me a chance[/whine]

    :eek: Touché. I have them, though... I haven't actually FORMALLY asked to do some gigs. I HAVE offered to translate cf.net to Spanish... to no avail.

    Hey, at least I am not a VP working in "Managment." ;)
    If you had your allow-people-to-send-me-email enabled, I'd send you a link to show you my skills. It's just that I was visiting my girlfriend in Oklahoma and she's modeling right now, GOSH.

    The subject of the sentence in question was Jeff and Clutch want; meaning a plural subject. Some grammar Nazi came by and tried to say there was a singular subject, when there wasn't.

    I'm the executive producer of Houston's only sports radio station that matters.

    That's not really relevant.

    The subject-verb rule, in the cases of "either/neither-or/nor", dictates that the verb agrees with the closer subject. Last time I checked, "Clutch" was not a collective noun.
