Parents Sues/Sue


This is a screen captured from www.detentionslip.org, a site reporting wacky news regarding education. The subject and verb of the headline do not agree. The subject is Parents. Girl is not the subject because it is part of a prepositional phrase. We should not say/write parents sues; we should say/write parents sue.
