Watching my guilty tv pleasure of Don't Tell The Bride the other night, and they were revisiting some of the couples from this season.
I noticed a startling amount of people using "were" instead of "was" when referring to single things.
"It were the happiest day of my life."
"The church were beautiful."
etc
Everyone who did it happened to be from the midlands higher. Do they not teach that "were" refers to plurals, and "was" to a singular up there?
