In response to "Metallica in massive debt.... -- (link)" by Remlik

ok, i need to go Grammar Nazi on that article for a moment . . . (spoiler IM)

it annoys me to no end when someone says something like "Metallica are in massive debt . . ."

no, Metallica aren't. Metallica IS in massive debt. "the bad" is singular. now, the members *are* in massive debt, maybe, . . .

it just annoys the piss out of me when people don't step back for a moment and look at the nouns that their verbs are connected to . . .
