1. Either they have since changed the image since several of you have commented, or you are having some sort of issue that is cutting off the right side of the image. I most certainly count 20x5 for 100.2. I think it is pretty standard in a graphic to call out specific criteria from a group and then it is understood that the unlabeled are those who do not meet the criteria. Would you really prefer it said "20 people that aren't loud mouths, lazy, or dead, with less than 100 followers?". I think that is a little retarded.3. The one issue I actually see is that the 5 Loud Mouths and 5 people with over 100 followers would probably share some overlay. They would not be two separate distinct groups.
Was/were in this situation has nothing to do with plural or singular. The "if" part is what makes it subjunctive, requiring were.Twitter was 100 people strong in 1999.If Twitter were 100 people strong, this graph shows what it would look like.
