The Easy Way Out

[poliphilo]

 Is the word "media" singular or plural? I try "the media is' and then "the media are"- and both look wrong.

I know what, I just won't write about the media at all.....

This doesn't apply to the word "media", which is used as a mass noun. This applies to words like "class" or "team", in which people in the UK are much more likely to use constructions such as "the team are" or "the class were".
