That title sounds like a practice I would disagree with, but a compound subject with a singular verb can be correct! Here’s the rule:
Here’s an example of getting this wrong. _others” is plural, so the verb should be plural:
Our results provide new insights into how this subduction zone, and possibly others, behaves over geologic timeframes of millions of years.

Here’s the other rule: A compound subject with “or” takes the number of the last item in the subject. If the last item is plural, use a plural verb, if the last item is singular, then use a singular verb.
A correct example:
Anomalous propagation, or AP, is the name given to radar echoes that are not related to precipitation.

Here’s an incorrect example. “rhetoric” is singular, so the verb should be singular:
Administration officials push back on the idea that Trump or his rhetoric have any responsibility to bear, saying the only people responsible for these mass shootings are the people shooting the guns.
https://www.npr.org/2019/08/05/748190808/trump-calls-for-strong-background-checks-following-el-paso-and-dayton-shootings
This is correct; plural second subject, plural verb.
I don’t think most schools or employers are there yet.

Further, regular use of painkillers is not safe and they could lead to various health conditions and even may damage vital organs like kidneys, livers, heart, and lungs. Therefore, more numbers of people are turning towards chiropractic pain management. This method of pain management is becoming popular because it is non-invasive.

Sciatica is a problem for thousands of people in Oklahoma City and surrounding areas. We often come across friends, relatives, colleagues, and even neighbors who talk about abnormal and excruciating pain caused by sciatica. For many, it would be debilitating and could prevent them from carrying on with their normal activities.
The pain has some unique characteristics. It generally originates in the buttocks or the low back and travels to both or one leg. It varies in intensity and frequency. It could range from minimum to moderation from occasional to severe and also from frequent to intermittent or constant. It is a pain that often is described as achy, dull, toothache-like, sharp, needle-prick like or having a burning sensation. It is also referred to as referred pain or radiating pain. Some people also complain of numbness and tingling sensations. In most cases, pain medications, compression with hot and cold water is recommended. However, many people feel that chiropractic medicines and treatments work very well for those who suffer from sciatica. We have to understand that sciatica pain occurs when the spinal cord nerve gets pinched by some muscles and tissues. Hence, aligning the spine and bringing it back to its original position could help overcome the problem. Let us see how this can be done.
Chiropractors offer Proper Diagnosis
When you choose the right chiropractor in Oklahoma City, he or she begins with proper investigation and diagnosis of the problem. The first objective is to find out the main reason that is causing sciatica. The chiropractors look at the patients’ overall medical history and also undertake a complete neurological and physical examination. They recommend MRI, CT scan, x-ray and other electrodiagnostic tests to pinpoint the exact place where the spinal nerve is being compressed.
They Support in Self Healing
The main purpose of chiropractic treatment is to help the body in its potential for self-healing. It is based on the scientific principle that restricted spinal movement could lead to pain and this could also result in reduced performance and functions. Hence, by deft massaging and movement of the spine, it is possible to release the stress that might be causing the spinal nerve to be pinched. It, therefore, tries to offer a helping hand as far as the self-healing capabilities of the body are concerned.
Ice/Cold Therapy
Inflammation is one of the major problems as far as sciatica is concerned. When you visit a chiropractor, he or she offers carefully thought out ice and cold therapy. This could help in reducing inflammation and also could lead to better control of sciatic pain over some time. They also make use of one more method and it is known as TENS or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. This method involves releasing various intensities of electrical currents that help to control and reduce muscle spasms.
Spinal Manipulation
Adjustments or spinal manipulation is at the core of any chiropractic care. It helps to free restricted movements of the spine apart from aiding restoration of vertebral bodies that have been misaligned.
The Final Word
Though there are many ways of treating sciatica and its symptoms, chiropractic medicine is often recommended because it is safe, non-invasive and free from the risk of operation, surgeries, and also harmful NSAIDs and other medications.

Some verbs take a direct object. We call them transitive verbs. Other verbs don’t take a direct object; we call them intransitive verbs.
So: “The computer displays a window”—transitive. You have to display something, in this case, a window.
And: “When you press Enter, the window appears.”—intransitive. Well, “press” is transitive, and “appears” is intransitive.
And some verbs can go either way. You can say, “Let’s run!” and “Let’s run a race!”
Here’s an example of a verb phrase (work out) that go either way. I hope you don’t mind a big, complicated noun clause for the direct object…
Note that the transitive and intransitive meanings are quite a bit different, and therein lies the humor.

The rule is (Okay, maybe I should say “the rules are.)
Warning: pay attention to the context!
This sentence looks okay, right?
Astronomers have detected less than half of the estimated 25,000 near-Earth objects thought to be 459 feet in size or greater.

“Less than half” feels correct, doesn’t it? That’s because with fractions, usually you’re measuring. But this sentence is counting asteroids, so it should say “fewer.”
When you write, be alert! Pay attention! Here’s a picture of an asteroid so you have something besides text to look at. Thanks, NASA.

Here’s an example of ambiguity caused by terseness:
The sign leaves out the possessive adjective that tells whose hands to wash. Readers shouldn’t have to pause to figure out what you mean. Say enough to remove ambiguity, but say no more.

She’s right of course. Get it right in your own writing, and don’t correct others unless they ask. Or to make a joke.
Use “fewer” when you’re counting and “less” when you’re measuring.

Everybody knows what a mentor is. It’s a well-trusted usually older person who teaches and trains someone, and who generally has a close relationship with the person they’re mentoring.
Mentor was a fellow in Homer’s story The Odyssey. He instructed Odysseus before he left on his journey, and took care of the home castle while Odysseus was gone.
But what do you call the person who has a mentor? Not “student” that goes with “teacher.”
Maybe mentee? That’s what these guys think (it’s a good guess, but they’re wrong).
Mentors help their mentees to get back into work, find volunteering, apply to university or develop new skills, all whilst working on their own communication and leadership techniques.

The actual correct name of the person being mentored is protégé. Yup, from the French.
Betchya didn’t know that, huh?
