The Media?

[[wcip]Angel]

You said:
Is it just me or does "the Media" suxxor?

Shouldn't it be

- Is it just me or does the Media "suxxor?"

Or, even better "suck"? (or "sucks". Yes, you can use both. Read on...)

"The Media" is the plural of "a medium".

singular
1. I suck
2. you suck
3. he/she/it sucks

Plural
1. we suck
2. you suck
3. they suck

Now, as I mentioned, "The media" is plural, and it's 3rd person. "They suck" = "The Media suck"

However, in this case you're probably not referring to all the media out there, every television network, every newspaper and radio station. You're probably talking about "the media" as a cohesive abstract unity, and can thus be replaced by "it", as in "it sucks" or "the media sucks".

you can say "the media sucks" and "the media suck".

Last time I checked "suxxor" is not a word, and last I checked, this wasn't the battlenet-trade channel.

If you're using "suxxor", you're using it in a derogatory way. By saying "suxxor", you're launching a sarcastic attack at people who really use "suxxor" as a word. Now, if you're not aware of it, then you're really embarrassing yourself. Please become of this distinction.

I've added a small line of text to my config.cfg-file for Counterstrike and whenver someome says "Rofl Mao", I press a key and the screen reads:

"[wcip]Angel : You know Rolf Mao too? He's a good friend of mine. A bit of a communist, but still a nice guy."

Thank you for your attention.
