I am sat at work on my lunch break and there is a poster with:

Jessops always prosecute!

Somebody has added a "s" to read:

Jessops always prosecutes!


Which is correct?

It is proofreader, not proof reader.

Sorry.

I guess that as Jessops is a brand it is 'always'. It isn't a plural or a possessive.

I thought that if Jessops was a person it would be prosecutes, but as Jessops is not one person it is prosecute, so the first one IMO
