Is American English dying?

Asked by Hawaii_Jake (37353points) April 5th, 2016

Is it the beginning of the end?

I heard an American reporter on NPR use a plural verb with a group noun as they are wont to do across the pond and north of the border. He said, “The media are…” It is more proper in American English to say, “The media is…” The effrontery of the error nearly made me drive off the road.

What’s next?

Will we all wake in the morning and spread Marmite on your toast?
