      why is is "czyta" used instead of "czytają"?

        because "społeczeństwo" is singular neuter. Ono czyta.

        Ah, this is such a middle-class, middle-thinking statement, that has been repeated since the dawn of books ;)

          following the discussion about "the police are/is". since society is a collective noun, why is it not "the society are"?
