Questions: Please explain, in this "subject-verb agreement" chapter, that American and British English rules treat collective nouns differently. Americans generally treat collective nouns as singular, whereas the English treat collective nouns as plural. What do you think accounts for this difference? What other differences have you noticed between American and British English? And please explain, if you overheard a store manager say, "If don't matter anyway," would this stir a negative reaction in you? A study tip in this chapter said the following: "nothing reveals a person's education, or lack thereof, so quickly as verbs that don't agree with subjects." Do you agree with this statement? Why or why not?
