Abstract

Syntactical and morphological contrasts are various yet similarly as inconsequential as those in word decision. With respect to aggregate things, for example, the British are significantly more likely than Americans to utilize a plural verb shape, similar to "people in general are. . . ." Plural verbs are visit with the names of games groups, which, since they do not have the plural - s, would require solitary verbs in American use: "Britain Await late current English (1800– present) 187 Chance to Mop Up" (a feature, the reference being to England's cricket group, occupied with a test coordinate with Australia) and "Wimbledon Are Fancied for Double" (additionally a feature). This utilization is not bound to sports pages: witness "The town are furious"; "The U.S. Government are accepted to support . . ."; "Eton College separate for the mid year occasions to-day"; "The Savoy [Hotel] have their own water supply"; "The Government respect . . ."; and "Scotland Yard are. . . ." The accompanying locutions, all from British compositions, may have been expressed as demonstrated inside square sections by American authors.
