09-14-04, 04:41 PM I've just noticed an article on the WotD D&D site entitled What is the Realms (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/frx/whatis). :uh-huh:

I mean, my English is poor, but surely it should be "What are the Realms"? Or have I misunderstood something here? :confused:

if he used proper grammar and punctuation it would be in the Epic lvl area...

Acutally a better example is like instead of "What are the United States?" Instead of "What is the united states?" (Correct)

09-16-04, 11:08 AM 'The Realms' is correct either as a singular or as a plural, and both are attested.

And this introduction to the Realms (http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Castle/2566/wellmet.htm) is better.
