isn't it "where are"? or is it is because even though vibes is plural, it's a name in this case? |
||||||||
|

|
urgh |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's a name |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
it's like that guy in the shaft remake called Peoples. Where is Peoples? |
||||||||

There is only one Squarepusher vibes, so "is the" is correct. "Squarepusher vibes" is singular. The 's' in 'vibes' is not signifying plurality, even though 'vibes' may be plural if used in another context. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
it would actually make more sense to call it the squarepusher vibe.. when it's called the squarepusher vibes, it's like each track is a squarepusher vibe and the title squarepusher vibes is referring to the collection of squarepusher vibe tracks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Consider: "Vibes is singlular" - 'is' is correct. "Vibes are emotions" - 'are' is correct. Same word, same meaning, different context. |
||||||||

|
|
that's the idea. if you say "where is the squarepusher vibes?" you're implying "where is the squarepusher vibes mix?". i'd have written "where're the squarepusher vibes?" but that's just me. |
||||||||

Crapsticks! Even after deleting and re-editing the post I still spelled "singular" wrong. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and 'is' isn't correct in "Vibes is singular". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The grammar is correct, even if the meaning of the sentence isn't accurate. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, so it's more of a name, but I'd also write "where are the squarepusher vibes" because I'd be referring to the collection of squarepusher vibe tracks and not some mix. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's not. the grammar's not correct in the topic title either, but from both examples you can, with a bit of effort, extract the meaning. "The word vibes is singular" or " 'Vibes' is a singular word" are grammatical. |
||||||||

Fair enough. Also, I can see an argument like this lasting longer than my remaining lunch break :) |
