It's been called that for 82 years.

"The Guardians” were named Time magazine’s Person of the Year for 2018.

The collective of journalists, the most well known of which is the murdered Washington Post reporter Jamal Khashoggi, graced the covers of Time magazine after the publication’s editors decided they had come to represent 2018 more than any other individual or group for the sacrifices they made in the “war on truth”.

@LiterateHiker I have no real issue with recognising Jamal Khashoggi, Maria Ressa, Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo and The Capital Gazette of Annapolis, Maryland. I do take a slight offense at the idea it's okay to intentionally slaughter the language for tradition's sake. Fuck tradition. It's People Of The Year.

@rainmanjr unless "Person of the year" is a POSITION title, and then it is irrelevant how many people are in the one position. "The world's best" for instance is one position that can refer to many people. I will admit though that it is drawing a very long bow.

@rainmanjr I agree with you ,good grammer first ,nothing wrong to change it to the plural

@Cyklone Judging from what I read in web posts, supposedly from common people like myself, grammar, punctuation, spelling (even with spell check) have all become nearly non-existent. Let's destroy the concept of plurals, also, and put it down to tradition. WTF is so hard to grasp about this?

@rainmanjr yeah, I was trying to find a justification but, bottom line, poor grammar annoys the shit out of me too

With any luck he'll become apoplexic check the dual meanings of the word

it is really going to get chapped in the future
