...ah, but on the lines of the sentence 'the people is grass' (or something - can't quite remember the proper sentence entirely), you would be right! 'Group' as a word is surely a collective noun, as is 'people' and these take a singular verb, I believe. Gosh, you can tell I'm up to my ears in PhD writing! Wish it was on AR - much more exciting!
