re: mothafarah

I've been running at WHQ off and on for ~15ish years both as a guest and as the general public. I have seen people asked to leave the Michael Johnson track and the Hollister Trail. Reason? Not blending in and getting in the way of other (Pro) athletes. The Hollister Trail does have a rent-a-cop on a scooter that patrols the area. Seems like a D, always mean mugging everyone. Ignore him. Oh, and don't bring your dog on the trail either. That's an easy way to stand out.

My best advice?

1. Wear Nike gear

2. Blend in (see #1 on how to do that)

3. Act like you've been there before

4. Don't go on the track when athletes are running/working out

5. Don't try to "race" anyone you pass/passes you- you will probably lose and look like a tool

If you are chill you should have no problems whatsoever. When not under construction (as is currently) it's a real pretty campus.

Huh? It is = "it's" in contraction form.

The tooth fairy is also a lie. Sorry.

Sorry buddy, but informal writing and the use of contractions has been around for a long time. They’re here to stay. Yes, in formal writing I wouldn’t use them but on a message board? Yeah, I’d use them all the time and I’d be considered grammatically correct in doing so.

What about the bark trail?

It was under construction last time I was there, do you know if it still is?

Aren’t you an attorney or something? The contraction is not THERE IS it’s THERE ARE.

It’s been two years since this post. What I’d like to know is whether Muddy Girl learned when to use there’s and when to use there are ?

re: ESL

Maybe ESL should read the article. I quote:

(...) if you really can’t rewrite it, you’ll have to make a choice. Use is if you want to emphasize the group; use are if you want to emphasize the individual members.
It’s the same with other collecting phrases, like a variety of.
There is a wide variety of flavors to choose from.
OR
There are a variety of unique destinations we can visit."

There is not a ton...

There are options...

And by the way, "it's" must be one of the first things any foreigner learns in middle school English.

Thank you. Case closed. “There are “ saves the day!!
