I heartily endorse this event or product.

no,no,no

Queen are fucking awesome.

I don't know, I wouldn't say that "Aerosmith are fucking awesome", I'd say that "Aerosmith IS fucking awesome", or that "Def Leppard IS fucking awesome"...

Queen is good, but I like Def Leppard as well... Some thing about those Brits and their music!

That is all...

I wouldn't use Aerosmith and awesome in the same sentence.

Yes.

I'm just gonna nod my head and concer what this topic is all about, which is the sexyness of queen. i would also like to state that led zeppelin also fucks the hell out of the word awesome.

I was just using them as an example... Band name = singular is my point...

Clearly Rachel doesn't like them...

I think you'll find are and is are used for bands in conversation Unne-informed, you'll deal with it.

YEAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE FUCKING ARE !!!!!!
HELL YEAH. I think that might be the best thing Matt has said. You go Matt

You vapid cockmaster!
Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor, and John Deacon collectively form a singular entity (known as a "band"). As such, and considering that "Queen," as a BAND is third person singular present, the subsequent indicative of "be" will therefore be "is," and certainly NOT "are."
Would you say "that band are whack?" No, you would not.

See if I didn't hate linguistics with such passion I might have said that, but clearly Matt's education makes you look quite the fool.

Maybe to you it may seem foolish, but if all you have ever known to say is "Queen are fucking awesome" and never said it around enough linguists to have them correct you, then why should I think otherwise?

...because it's proper English....?

There were a few good songs in The Mighty Ducks movies too. Lets not forget those child hood treasures.

Ignorance of the English language doesn't mean you haven't walked around saying it in front of linguistics. How old are you? Ask your English teacher. At least here in Australia, such teachers are qualified usually with an English major and a linguistics minor, so they will do the job. English can be corrected by anyone who knows the score, not just linguistics.

You are missing the point, If no-one has ever corrected me (and no-one has until now) then how would I know to change? and If I saw no reason to think it was wrong, I wouldn't ask my teacher about it would I?

Evidently I have been shown the error of my ways. But that still doesn't make the outburst appropriate.

Get the fuck over it already and get back on topic

Let me refresh your memory:
QUEEN IS FUCKING AWESOME

NO- one but you ( only the good die young )

Brian May's emotional ballad was written as a tribute to all those who pass before their time; and was prompted by the tragic early deaths of Diana, princess of wales, and, of course Freddie Mercury AKA Farrokh Bulsara. This hit single is the only new, post Freddie studio recording to feature the three- man Queen Line up.
Brian May, John Deacon and Roger Taylor.

WE MISS YOU FREDDIE!!!!!!!!

WE MISS YOU RIVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( just a little shout out to one of the best young actors who died before THEIR time )

Man, you really killed my topic, blazeshak...
