#1: A group is always referred to in the singular, i.e., U2 is releasing a new album.
As I said in a previous mail, I have checked with a professional on linguistics and BOTH are correct.
' simple as that. ---
And since we're on the topic: the t in often is silent; plural acronyms are written without an apostrophe (with an apostrophe the acronym becomes possessive instead of plural); the word is pronounced "ask" not "aks;" periods, commas, exclamation points belong inside quotation marks and colons, and the g in words ending with ing is not optional.
Please don't tell me you're arrogant enough to think that only English speaking US nationals and the odd Brit inhabits these lists. There are plenty of people with English as their second language, me for instance.
What second languages do English speaking US average Joes speak ?!?
