In writing a formal complaint letter to one of our corporate stores, my manager ended the letter with,

"I would appreciate it if this is something that is addressed as a serious concern."

I told him this doesn't sound right, and when he asked me why, I couldn't explain, I told him it just doesn't.

I'd also really appreciate explanations as to how this works grammatically.

I personally only ever heard of the one with "IS", but a friend got her essay marked down and was told of "HAS" to be correct. Can anyone tell me which is? Or is it both? I'd also really appreciate explanations as to how this works grammatically.

Should whats in parenthesis read as is or read "they or their staff". Or even if someone can think of a better way to say this - I would be appreciative. Thanks!

I read an excerpt of it once in a paper. Basically this guy writes a diary and he is always putting in there about what books he read "I read war and peace this afternoon..." then he gives some ludicrous commentary about it. The bit that made me laugh the most was the bit when his butler invited in The Lady Avon to dinner because she was at the door and then half way through dinner they realised that she wasn't the lady Avon but the Avon lady and so they kicked her out. That about all I can remember. Any clues anyone?

instead of, "can i "borrow" something off of you", also, why do some people say acrossed instead of across?
i;e "i need to get acrossed the road" or "those 2 roads go acrossed each other"...

I think the second is correct, but I wonder if someone can help me with some literary examples, or history of the statement.
