Yes, and he/she would be correct. Contracting 'there has' is completely acceptable, and quite common. Example: "there's been a break-in!"

But wasn't the original correction that the correct word to use was HAVE not HAS? I took it that way, not that she assumed use of the word IS versus HAS.

No. The first poster griped about people that post saying "there's been a ton of threads like this". Grammar police corrected that poster, incorrectly, by saying they should have said HAVE been tons.

Oh my god. Going to bed now, I'm so bored.

not "there's been". ugh.

I'm 18:04; we you correcting me? I said 'there's been a ton of threads,' and I think that's grammatically correct.

'There has been tons' is incorrect. 'There have been tons' is correct.

But i said, "there's been a ton" -- isn't that correct?

NO, it's not, because if you "uncontract" the contraction "there's" it is "there is." And "there is been a ton" is not correct, as you, me, and everyone else can recognize.

Jesus Christ on a Broken Stick, you are WRONG lady.

Yes! Especially because their blogs are either boring or depressing.

If you say - SHE'S BEEN GOOD - you aren't saying SHE IS BEEN GOOD - you are saying - SHE HAS BEEN GOOD. How are you people not getting that?

THERE'S does not solely mean THERE IS.

SHEESH.
