"We warned you to spell it right, and you wouldn't listen...!"

Thanks to Nate for the title quote, referring to the following ZOMG headline from Yahoo! News: Oddly Enough.

U.S. nuke city to correct Einstein misspelling

In the UK, they use plural verb inflection when talking about groups, e.g., "Nato have come to a resolution" instead of "NATO has come to a resolution". Think about that, and then you'll see how I was interpreting that headline.

And then you'll get Nate's joke!
