just a comment, i don't want to disrupt the dialogue between mmslf and stuart:
<i>I have heard of "bread and butter" as single units
if that is the case, then here also do we use the same logic ? </i>
if this happens, there will almost certainly be a clue elsewhere in the sentence that indicates the singular nature of "X and Y".
as an example, see #73 in the 11th edition og (i think it's #80 in the 12th edition). in that problem, "owning and living" is a singular construction - but you don't have to figure that out yourself, as it is immediately followed by the singular verb "is". since none of this is underlined, you have positive proof that "owning and living" is singular in that sentence.
