Note to Joe Offer and other grammatically erudite folks:

I confess that I struggled with the right grammatical form for this thread's title.

I wasn't sure if "was" was right or if "was" was wrong.

I went back and forth, back and forth with these words.
I was stuck in a pitt of indecision. At one point I even found myself humming the verse "Is you is or is you ain't my baby?" and shifted to the "Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear" song.

I knew that I had to chose right since I couldn't go back and edit my own words like I can on The Annexe...

And I knew that using the Preview feature wouldn't help, cause it wasn't like I could spot my error..

I just-didn't-know-right-from-wrong.

And so, at long last, I decided to stop doubting myself and I went with the word "was". My [erroneous?] thinking was [were??] that since the word "Mudcat" was a singular noun, I should use the singular verb "was" instead of the plural verb "were".

But I still wasn't sure about this oh so momentous decision, I one last time went over the grammatical form in my head for "it". And "it were" sounded wrong. So that's why I chose "was".

So now you tellin me I chose wrong???!!!

Oh, woe is me!!!

My bad.
