This list has some language lawyers. Here's a question about the English language.Which of these is grammatically correct? "There have been a number of things." or "There has been a number of things."
Google reports that the former is the more common usage: Results 1 - 10 of about 722 for "There have been a number of things". Results 1 - 10 of about 188 for "There has been a number of things". Myself, I'd use "There were a number of things". (Which is also far more popular on Google) -ajb _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
