Band names in AmE, singolar or plural?
0 Hi, 02 br
00 do you also use a plural verb sometimes when referring to bands in American English? I think the usual way is "singular", but... 02 br
02 br
00 Metallica is/are one of the greatest metal bands. (this should always be "is") 02 br
00 Metallica is/are going to release a new album. (umm...dunno) 02 br
02 br
00 Well, could you think of any examples where a plural verb is used? 02 br
02 br
00 Thanks. 02 br
