“What they are is x” — is singular “is” correct, and why? Concerning your update: Yes, you certainly zeroed in on that. Appropriate that you picked fish in your example, because apparently the is/are issue was a red herring distracting me from the real problems. |

Contemporary native English words with diacritics @Jason - In addition to the New Yorker, Neal Stephenson uses these umlauts/diacritics/trema (perhaps we could have a similarly lengthy discussion on which term!) in his novels, notably the Baroque Cycle. Is this used to sculpt the prose's feel towards the plots era (late 1600's, early 1700's) or is he taking a stand similar to the New Yorker? |

What is a suitable word to describe a place where two rivers meet? @Ed Guinness - I was once at a job where we used that for the workgroup's Wiki. In light of this geographical meaning i think its a pretty good name. A point where all team members can cooperate/share/merge/etc |
