Episode 4. Exploring the Plural
-
Narrated by:

Written by:
We support teams, we engage with companies, we interact with governments. In English, we increasingly talk about organisations and groups of all kinds in the plural, as though they are not single entities but merely groups of individuals. Does it matter? This episode asks whether a seemingly insignificant shift in grammar might subtly influence the way we think, weakening our broader sense of collective identity, shared responsibility and accountability. What if the difference between "is" and "are" is about a lot more than grammar?
No answers, just new questions about what we think we know and what we take for granted.
