The 1970s is or are coming back.
The 1970s is or are coming back.
I say 'are'.
We're talking about a grouping of several years. Or does the seventies represent a single decade, and we'd use 'is'? Confusing.
But if we had one year (e.g., 1970), we'd use 'is'.
Nineteen seventy is coming back.
Yay or nay?
