Dear friends,
Could you please help me with the use of verbs after subjects separated by a slash?
Should the verb be used in the singular or plural if the general meaning of the sentence doesn't depend on what we understand by '/' (AND or OR)?
E.g. Coke/Pepsi (as the subject) IS (or ARE?) unhealthy...
May/could is (are?) used to show the degree of certainty...
Which use is the more traditional?
Thanks a million in advance as I've come to a dead end.
