00More than one 01font00man02font00 are dead -- notional concord.02br
02br
01font00man02font00 is the subject -- I am just wondering why the notional concord is stronger than the grammatical one? (singular subject - singular verb)02br

0Sorry but I consider you have to analyze the meaning of the sentence, "More than one man" means exactly the same, or is synonym of "Two men" or "Twenty seven men"..... what I mean is that "More than one man" is the subject in the sentence and it is plural. 02br

00According to this, I would say that "More than one man are.." is the correct one.0-
