I'm not sick of her, but is C9BL still around? I haven't seen any posts from her lately.

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.


Isn't the contraction "there has," not "there is?" Now I am really starting to second-guess my grammatical smarts!


It's "there've" - contractions contract the words they replace.

Yes, especially in this forum, called "Off Topic" that pretty much has NOTHING to do with parenting.

You're correct; 19:48 -- 19:45 is incorrect

The "DCUMMIE" poster. Not nearly as clever as she thinks.

Posters who just cannot let a grammatical error go, even when 5 posters have already pointed it out.

I'll play. The poster who thinks "libtard" is a clever insult. It makes her sound like a preschooler who thinks she invented a dirty word.

I'm sick of posters who, like OP, apparently can't use grammar properly. Not only does she not know how to use a contraction, but she also ended her post title with a preposition.

Really, posters who make mistakes like these bug me most of all.
