I know…
The reason it doesn’t sound right is because we’re used to using “are” when referring to multiple objects.
i.e. – Are these books good? vs Is these books good?
Inversely when referring to a single object we use “is”.
Basically, it’s just a very sloppy sentence… There’s too much jumping back and forth between a plural and singular sentence structure. It’s unnecessarily complex, I assume for the purpose of this question…
Visualizing the back and forth:
(1) = Singular
(2) = Plural
Is(1) either(1) of these(2) applications(2) the one(1) that your organization uses?
Now look at a cleaner version.
Which(2) of these(2) are(2) the application(1) that your organization uses?
Damnit… now I’m confused…
Which of these (are or is) the application that your organization uses?
Which of “these”...
..these are
..these is
On that side “are” is correct.
But then
..are the application that you use
..is the application that you use
On that side “is” is correct.
Dutchess!!! You just messed up every sentence I’ve ever written! You better set me straight.
