Talk:Aunt Molly Jackson

British vs American verb agreement practices

edit

This article is about an American folk singer. I was pleasantly surprised to see the phrase “her family were” rather than the typical American “her family was”.

I don’t see any reason to change it because, frankly, anyone interested in reading about American History should be pleased about the contribution and not care about any particular grammar model as long as it is intelligible.

But, that is just me. Is there a Wikipedia convention for making such a change? Dhugot (talk) 03:51, 22 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
