    Thanks, interesting. Does that occur in India as well? I suppose I can see the reasoning (Jaguar is made of thousands of people, so jaguar “are” deciding things as a group so plyralizing the verb gives identity to the individuals) but it still sounds awful to me. Then again, it’s all about sound to me, right? I’d still say “The Beatles are deciding” despite being a group name.
