Well, try Google, they’re good.
Hello everyone! Could someone explain me why "they 're good" is used instead of "it's good"?
“What search engines have you tried?” asked Vampire.
“Well, none,” said Stan.
“Well, try Google, they’re good.”

It's good... when you're talking about something singular. They're good...
- It's good...
- when you're talking about something singular.
- They're good...
- when you're talking about plural.
- So really it should have been: Well, try Google, it's good.

It's good... when you're talking about something singular.
They're good... when you're talking about plural.
So really it should have been: Well, try Google, it's good. Because the reference is to the Google search engine, which is singular.
But people do use the plural 'they're ....' when talking about Google, because they are thinking of ALL the people who make up Google.....
