Then there's grammar by meaning and grammar by form. Case in point: Sports team references. Brit grammar prefers the use of plural verbs with team names, e.g., Arsenal win in their annual grudge match v. Little Sisters of the Poor. USns go by the form of the team name, e.g., UConn wins in third attempt at NIT championship; the Huskies were successful at last. On the other hand, USns go by meaning in the following: Buffalo is expecting 6 inches or less of total snowfall this August.
