I thought I was the only one who noticed that.

I figured it out, though. The problem is (is) that people are finishing the sentences as though they had begun them with 'what.' "What the problem is is that" is correct. They've just taken out 'what' to sound idiotic.

definately

who let you out?

I chewed through the cage

then where is dave's mom?

still in the cage

Else you'd get "there was two books on that table".

That doesn't make sense either.


Hmm.. too easy?

people who don't know how prepositions work.

'there were a pair of books on the table.'

well at least they change the prepositions to fit the "it"

unless you were referring to my statement. come on, i think i know the proper usage of "there were"

Yeah, that's why I said "Hmm.. too easy?" It was late and I felt like I couldn't be detained in making an adroit reply.

Something I don't really hate, but what can be annoying:
"He didn't asked you."

I bet I've made that mistake myself a lot over the years, but at this moment, it's becoming annoying for me too.

no, no. they're saying he didn't axe you. nothing wrong there.
