Grammar help
A review of the records does not show that either of the attorneys listed on your law firm?s letterhead are authorized to practice law in Florida.
Is or are? I'm confusing myself, back and forth.
Re: Grammar help
are.
you're talking about the attorneys not the letterhead.
If it helps, I always simplify the sentence:
A review of the records does not show that THEY ARE authorized to blah blah blah...
Absolutely, 100% correct? Is. Either ... is.
Colloquially acceptable? Are. But it's not really correct, because your subject is "either", not "attorneys".
what about:
either attorney listed....is....
because you're really speaking of each attorney separately, no?
What bacon'smom said.
"Of the attorneys" is a prep phrase, therefore it cannot be the subject of the sentence. So, when you are determining verbage, you get rid of the 'extra' words....skip all the prep. phrases.
Review...does not show that either...IS authorized.
Is. 100%
you see, both attorneys ARE, but either attorney IS.
i think i need to stap away from the post now!
I'm of the opinion that when the prepositional phrase changes the verb, it sounds wrong to people. Even people who are grammarians.
So I'd rewrite the sentence.
p'raps?
It's the "not" that throws me. It should just say, "A review of the records shows that neither attorney is authorized blah blah blah." DONE AND DONE.
