Initial paragraph should be revised to simply say “Chicago home.” While the movie was shot in the suburbs, the involvement of the Chicago Police Department at various points of the movie indicate that the McCallisters’ home must be in Chicago proper. 2601:246:4801:36D0:ED01:69BD:2288:BE15 (talk) 04:33, 1 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Undone: This request has been undone. Per MOS:SINGULAR, American English articles (which this one is written in) almost invariably use singular words to refer to collective nouns, with some exceptions. - Umby 🌕🐶 (talk) 23:44, 19 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
@UmbyUmbreon, isn't that what the changed wording does? "leaves" treats the word "family" as a singular (as in "the man leaves the house") but "leave" treats it as a plural (as in "the men leave the house"). Chess enjoyer (talk) 23:55, 19 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
