For me, the subconscious choice of a singular or plural verb to accompany 'multitude' depends solely on whether I want to emphasize the multitude, as a discrete, separate entity, or if it sounds like--in my inner brain--an adjective meaning 'a large number of' and I …

I looked it up on google and I found confusing answers, like this Business Writing: A Number, a Multitude, a Host . . . Are and this multitude [there is/are a multitude]

Consequently, I assume that both the singular and plural form are principally correct.

2009年8月14日 · I'm trying to figure out the correct way to write out a person's full name in this circumstance: Example: John Smith the Second John Smith the Third Are these correct? Is Second and Third capitalized? I don't want to write them: John Smith II John Smith III I want to know the right...

2008年1月8日 · In the context of which I´m referring, ¨ahí nama¨ is used as a common, perhaps interjectory, phrase that stands alone (nothing binds it contextually except the music itself).
