[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay, let's settle this contraction thing: The original 18:04 post was, [b]People who write, "OP, there's been a ton of threads on this..."[/b] Un-contracted, the phrase quoted by this poster would read "OP, there has been a ton of threads on this..." -- and this is correct grammatically. There's = there has. And 'ton' is singular here. [/quote] I disagree. I read it as "posts" being modified, not "a ton". In my mind, I replace the colloquial "a ton" with the standard "many". "There HAVE been [many] posts on this topic." Though I can see how grammatically correct people could come to a different conclusion. [/quote] "a ton of threads" is singular. This isn't even debatable. Please stop. You're embarrassing yourself.[/quote]
