Grammar question
Hannah and I can't agree, so see if you can settle this for us!
Would you say:
"Mumps are an uncomfortable childhood disease" OR "Mumps is an uncomfortable childhood disease."
My vote is for "are", but Hannah says that it should be "is" since "Mumps" refers to a single disease.
What do you think?
I'm not going to look it up in the answer key just yet.
