>phenomena but I guess that's Greek.

ooooh yes, another good one! thank you! There's also the occasional (anglicanized) phenomenons, but that's not as typical.

Anyway, relating back to one of my points above, can you help me think of any examples where phenomena is used in the plural non-collective form and immediately followed by the word 'are'?

I can't think of one, nor can I induce chatgpt to return any such examples. The closest I can get are examples like:

>"Various atmospheric phenomena, such as lightning and tornadoes, are often studied by meteorologists to better understand weather patterns."

The jarring prosody between 'are' and a plural word ending in -a is softened by an aside that separates them. It may also help when such an aside makes it clear that the noun is plural and non-collective, since 'lighting' and 'tornadoes' are specific and individual phenomena being referred to. That, and having 'tornadoes' next to 'are' just feels like good ol' murican english!

Also, after a bit of research it looks like this phenomenon (hah) poses some difficulty in the court room and is perhaps the reason why they say "the (individual) members of the jury were seated" as opposed to phrases like "the (singular category) jury was seated".
