Is Nexon Plural or Singular? - Hazzy - 2010-05-05
Nexon, Nintendo, Infinity Ward, other organizations you can think of. Are the names plural?
Is "Nexon want your money" correct, or should it be wants? I see some people use plural, some singular.
Grammar Nazis care to share their two cents?

Singular. I don't know why you would use plural anyway, it's not like they're are multiple Nexons.

It's not referring to multiple Nexon's. It's like this: Nexon wants money. It wants money. Nexon wants money. They want money. Plural referring to the people who work for Nexon and make Nexon Nexon.

Plural referring to the people who work for Nexon and make Nexon Nexon.But then that's not Nexon. And, again, I'm saying you wouldn't use plural because there aren't multiple Nexons. Nexon is a proper noun.

Put it this way:
Nexon is a company. A company wants your money.
Bob and Joe work for Nexon. They want your money.
Bob and Joe are not Nexon, they work for Nexon.

I think there's actually a term for this (a group of individuals), but it's not coming to me.

Nexon isn't just a name. People make up companies. Am I wrong?

You're not wrong. It's an organization, or a group of individuals, if you will. So is SP. Southperry consists of lots of papayas. Southperry consist of lots of papayas.
When you refer to a group or organization, you refer to it as a single entity, usually.

Is Nexon Plural or Singular? - Fiel - 2010-05-06
Company name is always singular. Referring to people that work for the company is always plural.
"Nexon is full of idiots. All they want is your money."
Is Nexon Plural or Singular? - Milelke - 2010-05-06
Like Fiel said, the actual name is singular, because it is a proper noun.
If you say you use any pronouns(besides 'it'), you are referring to the people who work at/with Nexon.
