Maybe the brits would get this

Three Englishmen are getting wasted in a pub when they Spot an Irishman sitting off in the corner.

For a little amusement, one of the Englishmen approaches him. "Did y'know that St. Patrick was a sissy?" he asks. "Oh, no, I dinnae know that," the Irishman replies. "Thank ye."

The man returns to his friends, complaining that he hadn't gotten a rise out of him. The second Englishman decides to try. "Hey did y'know then that St. Patrick was a transvestite?" he asks. "Oh, no, I dinnae know that. Thank ye for the info," the Irishman responds.

The second man returns to his friends, amazed that he, too, hasn't gotten to this guy. The third man thinks he has the solution. "Did y'know that St. Patrick was an Englishman?" "Oh, no. I hadn't heard that," said the Irishman. "But I believe that's what y'r friends have been trying to tell me."

I claim to be an Anglophile, largely because those in the "Mother Country" seem to speak intellegently. But when I hear things like "the army are marching" or "the family are in mourning", it makes me wonder just who am in charge of the rulz of grammar over thar. Americans do quite well at eroding the beauty and precision of the English language, but I am used to American usage of the language...singular noun, singular verb. Simple, no guessing. What be the writed grammar (my grammar died of liver failure years ago) rule that determines verb usagulation o'var?
