“My bank is awful.”
American English views organizations as a singular entity, not so much a group of individuals.
- wizofaus 3y agoAs does modern Australian English for the most part (I would typically say "my bank is awful". But I'd just as likely use "they" as a pronoun for it, especially if describing actions that were clearly carried out by those working there). I'd guess the same of NZ and Canadian English?
- sheepscreek 3y agoYep - they while describing their actions. In that respect, Canadian English is practically the same as American English. At least in the NY/Ontario region.
