Associated Press 2011 Stylebook records “whereabouts” to take a single verb. How can I distinguish one verb from the other?

“His whereabouts are a mystery. ” “An

AP is a horse’s mouth.”

By the standpoint of feeling alone, the singular seems more correct to me, since the meaning of the word is something like ” location. The New York Times stylebook has long required that ” whereabouts ” be treated as singular.

My ear sounds different sometimes, but I understand it all. Since the plural verb is used in much of Modern American literature, it is 10 times the common verb used for other verbs. Where does plural verb come from?

Why did Greg Dwight provide an answer that his counterpart wrote but don’t do, let me answer this question from a conversational perspective?

I would think of a person’s whereabouts as places where he has been. What is a place? Is plural? How does it work? How

Would you suggest to the context here that we don’t know what places he is going to.

How can I define plural term in Wiktionary? Merriam-Webster says it’s “Noun plural but singular or plural in construction” What is, of Latin grammar and other English terms, used with a plural verb in the Collins English Dictionary? The Corpus of Contemporary American English has 23 cites for “whereabouts are unknown”, but only 3 cites for “whereabouts is unknown”. Google returns a very good score for Google with 3 ratings. But I should caution that Google returns 1. Whereabouts is unknown: 1M results vs 191k results vs 2M results vs “whereabouts is unknown” +1; 1M results vs 0.5k results vs 0.5K results vs 1.025 results. What are your comments about this? Whereabouts are unknown is in some form too unheard of for such papers. The number “25” suggests both of

them.
