In British English they are more likely to use the plural for words like company.

A person might say "I want that done yesterday" to emphasize that he wants it done right away. However, it seems unlikely that that would be put in writing. (Anything is possible, I suppose.)



" IT manager at ARS telling him, in effect, to “get the rest of the programmable chips to him yesterday or else there will be trouble”

Please read the the sentence. It says, quite clearly, that the manager 'in effect' told him....'

I am sure that you can tell somebody something in writing.
