Hear what I heard from a TV correspondent.

 Hear what I heard from a TV correspondent, a while ago: "The remains of the late Olubadan were brought to..." CAUTION: The fellow, probably, thinks that the noun"remains" is plural in form and so, he used "were",instead of "was". Sorry, avoid that blunder! The noun "remains" must take on a singular verb. e.g. "The remains of the late Olubadan was brought to..." What would you say of a word as "measles"? Would you say it is plural, because it ends in "s"? I wish you get the point I am trying to make?
