the grammatical difference is kinda interesting---uk english stages a team as a collective (a team is the people who comprise it), so it's plural. american english refers to the singular (a team). same goes for the city: a singular referring to a singular referring to a plural. american english has this quirk of opting for singular over plural whenever the chance presents itself--it's a simplified version of uk english. if you want to mess about with american english, make it do things, it seems the best way to go about it is to use that simplifying tendency and feed it back onto itself. but i digress.
sports thread.
would i piss on a team uniform for a grand?
why not?
i'd probably have to wait a few minutes for the machinery to kick into gear with a celtics uniform.
i'd have to think about the money, or maybe pretend that it was a national flag.
