		Collective nouns, such as family, majority, audience, and committee are singular when they act in a collective fashion or represent one group.
		Again, the confusing noun is referred to as a singular group: even though a flock comprises many birds, we're not talking about each bird's direction of flight, but the direction of the flock as a whole.

		Do note that Plastic's spellcheck is not yet comprehensive (especially when it comes to all those new 'hip,' 'jive' expressions), and never intends to offend you.
		If you operate a commercial Web site or an online service directed to children under 13 that collects personal inf ormation from children or if you operate a general audience Web site and have actual knowledge that you are collecting personal information from children, you must comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.
		It does not collect and does not know the age or date of birth of its members, and has no reasonable expectation that children 12 and under would want to register with the site.
