pivoboy Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Actually if they do all release albums on the same day, will Glenn's fare the poorest? Will he have to wear the Cat makeup? Not sure it worked for Peter Criss. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

theashtraysays Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 when are Wilco releasing a new album? So why is that people who speak English with funny accents (as in Aussies and Brits) insist on treating singular nouns referring to multiple people (as in "Wilco" or a company name like "GM" or "the government") as plural? I have never understood that ... do tell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Stewart Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Because saying stuff like "the Miami Heat is good" sounds stupid. And captions like "The Who sweat" in books documenting Live Aid sound stupid too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have never understood that ... do tell. Yeah, us Irish have always thought the same thing... Why do Americans make verbs out of nouns, e.g. to de-plane etc. ??
