In fact, the grammar checker seems to have green twiddlyitis with the
following:
The staff are happy. "staff are" have twiddles (suggests "staff is" but see
below)
Staff are happy. "staff are" have twiddles (suggests "Staff is" or "Staffs
are"
Staff is happy. "Staff" has twiddles (suggests "staffs").
The staff is happy. "Staff" has twiddles (suggests "staffs" but see above).
A staff is happy. "A staff" has twiddles (suggests "Staffs")
Is it fixable? How?
