Language: A company is an it not a they

A company is singular. Perhaps it could be considered a collective plural (somewhat like how data can be considered a collective singular) but that's semantically a colloquial sense. People say it (like "there's three reasons" [or "IBM announced their earnings"]) but we oughtn't write it.
