Proof reading - Well spotted!
Well spotted P.F.Bruns! Should we correct pronunciation too? It's not Volks Wagon, it's Folks Vargen. Germans pronounce their V as our F and their W as our V.
As for using the singular form of a verb for a plural subject, that's rife these days, even among journalists who, as writing English is their profession, should at least know the rudiments of English grammar. At least there are a few of us left who can spot these errors.
