Grammatically speaking, the thread title is correct. As the name of a group, QOTSA would be a singular noun for which "is" would be the proper verb.durdencommatyler wrote:Proper grammar?LoathedVermin72 wrote:HELL NO I HATE THAT SHITdurdencommatyler wrote:The thread title really should be "QotSA are better than Soundgarden."

It. When referring to a collective group, it is singular. If you are referring to members of that group as individuals, then it is plural.theplatypus wrote:I've never been very sure of this and have found that I am inconsistent in whether I refer to bands as "they" or "it"wease wrote:Grammatically speaking, the thread title is correct.
