People like hot dogs

Why have I given this blog a URL which includes the line, "people like hot dogs?" Because it's a line from one of my all time favorite films, Big Night, and because it contains a subject-verb agreement which my students find challenging. Who knows how many other great lines there are including people and a verb? Probably millions. Right now, people are eating hot dogs in New York City and people are watching baseball games. People are going to meetings and arguing about things. People are making deals and having babies and coming up with brilliant ideas. People are drinking that first sip of beer which is always the best. People are protesting and laughing and taking naps and worrying and falling in love. People are daydreaming and writing novels and poems. People are traveling or dreaming of the next trip. People like hot dogs, and beer, and all kinds of things. What about you?
