I hear this one on t.v. newscasts all the time. It makes otherwise smart people sound really dumb.
Please complete with the correct verb:
=One of these guys (is/are) going to jail.
=Two of these guys (is/are) going to jail.
When in doubt in terms of subject/verb agreement, drop the prepositional phrase to figure it out. So... "One... is going to jail..." and... "Two... are going to jail."
