[QUOTE="Manifesting, post: 39704, member: 7645"] Hi Jessica! I'm aware that in British English, collective nouns can take either singular or plural verb forms. So, on many instances in this forum, I see examples, such as "Linklaters have a supportive culture." This is a form that comes unnaturally to me given that my education was a mix of British/American/English-as-a-second-language. I was wondering if it were ok if I used the singular form in my applications, such as "Linklaters has a supportive culture"? I fear that GR might consider this to be a mistake, although I think that it is technically grammatically-sound too. I am doing my best to use British spelling, terms, and grammar throughout my applications, but I'm afraid of messing this form up and also know that I would speak using the singular verb forms in an interview.
