Thread Name: BS: Commonly misspelled/mispronounced words
Subject: RE: BS: Commonly misspelled/mispronounced words
My two cents' worth: the one I cannot abide, and unfortunately it is becoming ubiquitous is "There is, or there's" for "There are." It's in newspapers, magazines, on news broadcasts -- all the places one would expect or hope to find correct language.
"There's lots more where this came from, hon!"
"There is no excuses for this kind of behaviour."
