If not, is there another Stack Exchange site where it would be a
better fit?  CSS, as we know, stands for Cascading Style Sheets,
which is a plural phrase. One would say "Cascading Style Sheets
are used to provide a central location for all of the stylings
of a project" (note the 'are'). However, it seems to be the
prevalent usage to say "CSS is used to provide a central
location for all of the stylings of a project" (singular). Why
do we do this, and is this correct?  (I realize I used this form
in the first sentence, but that was referring to the acronym
itself, not Cascading Style Sheets)  Update: This question has
been posted at EL&U.  share|improve this question How about

thought english.SE might be best, but since it seemed pretty
specific to programming, I thought maybe here or programmers.SE
might be acceptable, and probably provide a more relevant
answer, as the people using SO and P.SE are the people using the
terms in my question. –  Jim Aug
