Collective nouns or noun's


Cobblers...drunkenship or drunkship.

As we are honorary chaps could we go with the cobblers, a it were (think of the shoes Miss D, think of the shoes) and be a drunkenship of honorary chaps?   
I have always thought that the worst thing about drowning was having to call 'help!' You must look such a fool. It's put me against drowning.

Does the thread encompass 'Are' vs 'is' and 'me' vs 'I' ?
