I am using "whose" to refer to the characteristics of a collection of things. Should the noun that follows the word "whose" be in plural or singular form?

These are my options:

Except for videos whose title contains words related to a president, ...

Except for videos whose titles contain words related to a president, ...

As per this question, the second option is correct. However, it sounds a little silly in my head and thought it'd be better to ask a new question.

  • Hi @Chenmunka, thank you for referencing the post I linked to and stated that it did not fully answer my question. I suppose this means plural is correct. – Arturo Sbr May 30 '22 at 11:52

    "Videos whose title contains ..." is fine. It has a distributive meaning, where we understand that the title of each video of some set of videos contain words related to a president ... – BillJ May 30 '22 at 12:22
  • But the plural is also correct. Singular and plural markings get swallowed half the time and ignored almost everywhere. – John Lawler May 30 '22 at 14:51
