    In the BB code, we write e.g. [quote="Bill Bloggs"] which comes out as Bill Bloggs has written:

    Most of the time that works but yesterday I tried to quote myself simply as [quote="I"] which came out as an ungrammatical I has written:.

    And then there are plurals ... [quote="Artists"] ---> Artists has written: which should be Artists have written:

    Instead of "has written", if it said "wrote" both the above would be grammatically i.e. I wrote: or Hurter and Driffield wrote:.

    Additionally, the simple "wrote" is correct for Company names like "Hurter and Driffield" because Companies are normally referred to as single entities
