On MM there are quiz questions, one reads like this

What year was Ajax formed?

That should read....

What year WERE Ajax formed?

(Were not was!)

This is one of many questions like this, that is just an example.

Multi Million Dollar company and the English is awful!

Sorry it just really bugs me.

Languages change. You're not speaking the same English your grandparents spoke. You're not speaking the same English Shakespeare used. It's the same with any language. Spanish is different in Mexico, Spain, Argentina, etc. Portuguese differs between Brazil and Portugal. Personally, I'm a descriptive grammarian rather than a prescriptive grammarian.

Interesting.
One 'm' sound, so do Americans drop the second 'm' like an unused 'u'?

I've noticed that the questions are written pretty badly too.

You'd get a question like...how many times has so and so won the league:

a) 1
b) 3
c) Five.

Mixing numbers with letters and such

Strange.

Heh, I didn't notice that. No, I usually spell things correctly (English major). And if you read any of my posts on this forum, you'll note that I do use spellings such as colour and favourite. I was actually taught using British spellings.
