    Grammer failure plague sweeping the nation

    Well.... not sure about the whole nation, but my friends and family and colleagues and national media.

    "There's loads of them"
    "There's twenty of them"
    "There's many of them"

    It seems that this is becoming part of the everyday usage as an acceptable method, even though none of them would ever say "There is twenty of them".

    Anyone else noticed this?

    Yep, I seen this loads. I guess there is plenty of people who just don't know they're singular from they're pluralses.

        I was just wondering why so many English natives write "of" instead of "have". I know it's because of the pronounciation, but still.

          Someone asked my sister...

          'How much did your baby way?'.

            Presumably on facebook? Because in speech, how would you know which way they wanted to spell it?

            This man goes in a bar. Barman says: "Sorry, we don't server fruit".

              I was recently proofing an article where somebody had replaced "Gym" with "Jim".
              Kept you waiting, huh?

                I had a really tough session in the Jim yesterday.
                That Jim really tires me out.
                I get sweaty just thinking the word Jim.

                    Another thread that shows how we have all turned into our parents.

                      My parents are both pretty dumb. In fact my mother once asked how I turned out the way I did as I am like nobody else in the family!

                              It wasn't an article about Gym Davidson was it?
