@hayesstw –
The question of the sense of a group is interesting when it comes to the proper noun subject, though. (The "UK" quote above came from a UK TV production, so I assume that's not what you were saying wasn't correct.)
I'm trying to think of cases that would effectively illustrate the difference you're talking about with respect to proper noun organization names as subjects.

@Starfia I wasn't saying that the UK version was incorrect, only that it wasn't the only possible correct version. For proper nouns think of sports teams: - Manchester United have won the FA Cup - Manchester United is being sued US English tends to be more rigid and arbitrary about grammar rules.
