Grammar freak: it should read- "Is EA still relevant."

A true grammar freak would know that companies are referred to in the plural in British English, and in the in singular in American English. =P

 Are you sure about that? If so, that's very interesting. This is something I've been wondering about for a fairly long time.

Thanks

I did some checking, and apparently it's a bit more complicated than that. Collective nouns can be either singular or plural in British English, depending on the desired emphasis, while they're almost always singular in American English. The Wikipedia page explains this and many other differences pretty well. Learning all the differences can be a pain, but sure beats using the wrong form by accident, and sounding like some uneducated Yank. ^^
