DonaldSmith Posted February 4, 2019 Report Posted February 4, 2019 An average of 15 hrs of family time ARE sacrificed. The original word was correct. Common grammatical error. The subject is "hours". Hours are sacrificed. Back to my corner. Quote
lonejacklarry Posted February 4, 2019 Report Posted February 4, 2019 I'd say "is" is correct. Yes, "hours" is plural but the object is "average" which is singular. Quote
DJ194950 Posted February 4, 2019 Report Posted February 4, 2019 Should we get Paul flamings opinion on this?? He was a college English teacher. Just a thought? DJ Quote
DonaldSmith Posted February 5, 2019 Report Posted February 5, 2019 Yes, "Average" IS. What was I thinking? Quote
lonejacklarry Posted February 5, 2019 Report Posted February 5, 2019 You should have been around many, many years ago when I told my mother something like "Her and me should have went" somewhere just to mess with her. I thought she was going to beat my 32 year old butt. Quote
