I have kind of a grammar question, and since I don't know how to look it up on google, I wanted to ask your help. It's not really for nitpicking on the wiki because that's not something I want to take care about right now, just a personal question for my own betterment in the English language.

See, I've noticed that in the texts and dialogues of both Dishonored games, when a group is mentioned with a title behind (ex: gang, criminal organization), the proper name of the group stays in singular form (ex: "the Howler gang"). However when they are mentioned as individuals, without adding the title, that proper name is in plural form (example: "the Howlers"). I also have at one instance "the Howler leader", but never "the Howlers gang", with the proper name in plural.

So my question is, which form is grammatically correct? "The Howler gang" or "the Howlers gang"? I really want an answer for that because each time I see the singular form in-game I start asking that question and it nags me not to know the answer. Believe me, I tried to look it up on google but I don't even know how to formulate the question for the search engine. /:
