As someone who has worked as a sub (copy-editor) in the UK for many years in the past I cannot begin to describe exactly how completely incorrect this is.

Have to agree - as a Brit, using 'help' there is just ... wrong

  • Not really. It's absolutely normal to see, for example, sports clubs and teams used as plural noun in the UK press; hence by extension it cann be used for any org. I know because it's a big gotcha for us Europeans, who tend to use the singular there.
