Can we clear something up please?

Why are people always refering to brandnames as groups of people, without actually saying that they are talking about the people behind the company?

Example: "Sony are doing good."

"Nintendo are so stupid and kiddy."

"Microsoft make bad consoles."

Why do people just assume that people know that they mean:

"The people at Sony are doing good." or "Sony is doing good."

"The ideas of Nintendo are so stupid and kiddy." or "Nintendo is so stupid and kiddy."

"The manufacturers at Microsoft make bad consoles." or "Microsoft makes bad consoles."

Does what I'm typing make sense? Because it really pisses me off when I see people type like my first examples. So I just hope we can all stop doing that, for the sake of correctness and not making ourselves look like uneducated retards.

Do you own one of those companies? :roll:

If not, why do you care. Its shorter to say.

No, it is by no means shorter to say. The word "is" is shorter than what people are saying.

So because something annoys you, we all have to change? Sorry. If I make a mistake, I don't even care to fix it.-LegendaryLuck-
