"Dr. Oliver Bronson House and Estate" is the site description, and since it's a single site, like macaroni and cheese, it takes a singular verb.<br /><br />Gee, Clown Town, I hope you're not so upset about this perceived grammatical error that you decide to blow up the house: http://www.statesmanjournal.com/article/20130529/UPDATE/130529028/Man-threatens-blow-up-state-building-over-misspelled-sign Carole Osterinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16010623982526286408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-49863196211612484782013-06-09T12:02:43.617-04:002013-06-09T12:02:43.617-04:00Not to take away a jot of substantial significance...Not to take away a jot of substantial significance from the plaque, but for god's sake, look at that howler of a grammatical error...."Dr. Oliver Bronson House and Estate HAS been designated...." Shouldn't this be "..House and Estate HAVE been..." since a plural subject (house and estate) take a matching plural verb (have). All this effort and expense and importance marred...unless an apologist out there can contort the House and Estate under the single subject "site"...sheesh.Clown Townhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16082709830262937971noreply@blogger.com
