My husband and I took a walk this evening, and saw eight deer in the stable meadow. Coming back, I got to wondering about the following, and decided to post it. I'm so glad this place is here! So--
Do you say I walked past the stable, or I walked past the stables? If you say stables, do you say stables is or stables are? (It is only one building.)
I'll be particularly interested to learn if there are cross-pondian differences, since Brit-speakers say things like family are, while we say family is.
