Nah. I'm just talking about the image at the bottom of the newsletter. Bothered me enough to come here and grammar Notzee.

Cute that you can't type the real word though.

Î think the OP refers to the verb in the sentences, i.e. "Frontier is hiring" vs "Frontier are hiring". Afaik both forms are correct, one refers to Frontier as a singular entity, the other refers to them as a group of people (in the same way that "the police" is used in plural). Personally, I also mostly use the plural verb form. :)

Wow, a thread about grammar? Ok, ill bite.

Both are acceptable. If you use IS then you are referring to Frontier as a single entity. If you use ARE you are referring to Frontier as a group with many parts.

So in this case they chose to refer to the company in the singular. Nothing wrong with that.

heh, don't correct the correct.

I fit the qualifications for their web dev one but I wouldn't apply for them. They need to allow working from home so they can pay me to play Elite and pretend I'm working.
