Ask someone for their opinion and see how easy it is to get a conversation going?
What makes me feel confused is that I don't know why "for their opinion" appears in this sentence. Since "ask someone" is here, I guess it should be "his or her opinion". If using "their" then is should be "opinions". after that.

How come I read through 15 answers over in the pregnancy section and not a single person on there knew how to spell "you're"???? Does no one know that "your" is possessive, and "you're" is the proper way to contract "you" and "are"???
Jesus, people, come on!

By the way, someone else seems to not know the difference between "our" and "are".

Really!

My god!

In other words, say I was forced to take a test because the rest of my fellow classmates were too disruptive and/or brought it upon THEMSELVES by not being studious. Thus, what word should I utilize to state that I, being just a hapless "observer", was innocent of being "unstudious" (I don't think that it is an actual word, but I'm just using it to coincide with my usage of "studious" beforehand).

Which of these sentences is grammatically correct (I hope at least one of them is)?

1. "There is a dozen other topics in which I am interested."
2. "There are a dozen other topics in which I am interested."

"a dozen" is singular (there's only one dozen), so it makes sense that it should be preceded by "is". But that sounds odd, because the "number of topics" is over a dozen, and so to my ear #2 sounds correct.

Anyone have a definitive answer?
