To my English speakers who refer to a corporation in the plural (“Company A are…”), aside from convention, what sense or rationale comes to mind when you consider this? I just talked with my girlfriend about regional (continental?) differences in English word use and this one came up.

For the U.S. since corporations are considered a person for some legal purposes, the singular usage (“Company B is…”) makes sense in this case.
