Grammar
"have" or "be" a culture?
"The Lilliputians have a very dogmatic culture."
"The Lilliputians are a very dogmatic culture."
I see these two forms used interchangeably all the time. Is one more correct than the other, and if so, why?

Hi, Yes, you hear both, but I would simply say that a culture is what people 'have'. Another approach you often hear is to say that they form a culture. Clive
