youthoftomorrow · 05.07.2006, 12:35 AM

god, i'm not even listening to my own argument. this shit DOES NOT MATTER.

youthoftomorrow · 05.07.2006, 12:38 AM

well...i guess we're both right. if we refer to them as Sonic Youth, "is" should be used, but if we refer to them as the Sonic Youth, "are" should be used.

youthoftomorrow · 05.07.2006, 12:52 AM

hmm, that didn't help much.

noumenal · 05.07.2006, 01:06 AM

Yeah, I think the point is that there isn't a good rule - just say what sounds right. The Beatles are.....Sonic Youth is.....whatever

What about Was Not Was?

youthoftomorrow · 05.07.2006, 01:15 AM

I'm really not sure how you got 'asshole' from my question.

youthoftomorrow · 05.07.2006, 02:06 AM

stirling · 05.07.2006, 02:18 AM

Maybe you're right.
I was all ready for a messageboard fight, but clearly he got scared and ran away.

stirling · 05.07.2006, 02:23 AM

That's exactly what I meant.

youthoftomorrow · 05.07.2006, 02:32 AM

new development: my father (a newspaper editor) thinks that it should be "Sonic Youth are" and "the Sonic Youth is".
