detlef Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 walking to work today i see this ad for grand valley state university on the side of a city bus. it has a quote from a supposed student......"the faculty here are incredible." I'm no English scholar so forgive me if I'm wrong. However, I'm not so sure there's anything wrong with that statement. Couldn't that be a situation where faculty used in that instance can either be singular implying the group of teachers as a whole or plural referring to all the faculty but not as a whole. If this is true, than both is or are could be used. Certainly there is somebody more qualified than I am to clarify this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
