What does the third sense refer to? Sounds a bit vague. ---> Tooironic 22:53, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
Plural[edit]
So which sentence is correct (concerning the singular noun, "headquarters" : "The headquarters was." or "The headquarters were."? Terry Thorgaard (talk) 21:00, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
- They're both acceptable. Equinox ◑ 21:04, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
- The noun headquarters can be used with either a singular or a plural verb. The plural is more common, but when referring to authority rather than physical location, many people prefer the singular: Division headquarters has approved the new benefits package. --Backinstadiums (talk) 15:36, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
