This pattern is accepted by 54 percent of the Usage Panel.Others have maintained that the construction is fundamentally inconsistent whichever number is assigned to the verband that such sentences should be rewritten accordingly.As Wilson Follett put it:然而，当结构中既有单数又有复数成分的时候，动词应采取什么形式说法不定。人们有时建议动词的人称和数应与离得最近的名词短语呼应；因此人们说Either Eve or the Kays have been invited ， 而不是Either the Kays or Eve has been invited 。 这种格式被用法使用小组54的成员所接受。也有人认为不管动词用什么样的数， 这个结构本质上都是一致的，因此这样的句子应重写。象威尔逊·伏莱特所说的：〔Wright〕American architect whose distinctive style, based on natural forms, had a great influence on the modern movement in architecture. His designs include private homes, the Johnson Wax Company Building in Racine, Wisconsin (1939), and the Guggenheim Museum in New York City (1943-1959).莱特，弗兰克·劳埃德：(1869-1959) 美国建筑师，他基于自然形式的特殊建筑风格极大地影响了现代建筑业。他的设计包括私人住宅，在威斯康星州的拉辛市的约翰逊制腊公司办公大楼(1939年），和纽约的古根海姆博物馆(1943-1959年）〔Democrat〕A peak, 4,315.1 m (14,148 ft) high, of central Colorado in the Park Range of the Rocky Mountains.德谟利莱特山：美国科罗拉多中部的一座山峰，海拔4,315.1米(14,148英尺），位于落基山脉的派克岭〔Bonney〕American outlaw who murdered 21 men and was shot dead by Sheriff Pat Garrett (1850-1908).邦雷，威廉H.：(1859-1881) 美国罪犯，曾谋杀21人并被县治安官帕特·加莱特(1850-1908年）击毙〔Bely〕Russian writer.

Will). Bodacious can also be an adverbial intensifier: "She's so bowdacious unreasonable when she's raised [irritated] ” (William T. Thompson).Black speech in New York City retains this Southernism asbardacious. Joseph Wright'sEnglish Dialect Dictionary cites the form boldacious, which, as the likely source forbodacious, strengthens the theory that some archaic British expressions are preserved in the speech of the American South.因胆大包天的斯纳费·史密斯 中的连载漫画而家喻户晓。其大概是 bold 和 audacious 两词的组合， 其组合意思在以下对田纳西州的塞费尔县的描述中很明显的：“阿纳海姆的大肆渲染的观光演出” （洛杉矶时报）。一个更传统的意思是“突出的，大量的”： “滚滚浓烟” （斯普林菲尔德·MA·联合晨报）； “关于隐藏的宝藏的最迷人传说” （劳伦斯·E·威尔）。 Bodacious 也可用作加强语气的副词： “她被激［怒］ 时变得如此不可理喻” （威廉·T·汤普逊）。纽约市的黑人语言还保留了这一南方音bardacious。 约瑟夫·莱特编的英语方言辞典 记录了 boldacious 的形式， 它可能是boadacious 的来源， 这证实了以下的看法：一些古时的英语表达方式仍保留在美国南部方言中〔Wright〕American writer whose powerful fiction explores the oppression suffered by Black Americans. His works includeNative Son (1940) and Black Boy (1945). 莱特，理查德：(1908-1960) 美国作家，他强有力的小说揭露美国黑人所遭受的压迫。他的作品包括《土生子》 （1940年）和 《黑孩子》 （1945年） 〔Wright〕American sculptor noted for her wax models of public figures.莱特，佩森斯·洛维尔：(1725-1786) 美国雕塑家，因其为著名人物塑腊像而闻名〔stay〕"Abide with me" (Henry Francis Lyte).“跟我住吧” （亨利·弗朗西斯·莱特）。〔Hospitalet〕A city of northeast Spain, an industrial suburb of Barcelona.
