This problem is exactly why I decided to create my Slack app Whatis! https://whatis.rocks/ https://whatis.rocks/

  Shouldn't it be "What are rocks?"
  • Wooddar 7y ago
    Yes but in this case “rocks” actually refers to our team’s project to migrate from Oracle MySQL to Postgres. Did they not cover that in your onboarding?
  • Jestar342 7y ago
    it could easily be "What is 'rocks'?"
    • Razengan 7y ago
      Or that the entity/object represented by the noun "WhatIs" rocks.

    I sometimes use "whois X?", even if the correct form would be "what is?" or "who are?". Using and old IRCism is just more fun.

      I guess it would depend whether you were accessing the URL in the second or third person.
