There is/there are
A reader asks about the use of “there is” and “there are”: I am writing to express my puzzlement over whether to use “there is” or “there are”.

Me and tea
Two-tree years ago, I didn’t drink tea. I didn’t like it. In fact, I found it downright disgusting. However, despite that, I was always a bit curious. Tea has always seemed interesting to me. The history of it, the technique for making it.
Then for some reason, I decided to try again. My mum’s always kept trying to make me have some. She loves it. My sister does too. So I tried a lemon tea, meant to be used as ice tea, but without the sugar. I was amazed. It was actually quite nice. In fact, more than nice.
Now I have a cup almost every evening. And apart from the lemon tea (which is sadly only sold during the summer – I’m looking for it every time I go shopping) I also drink lemon and lime tea and peppermint tea.
Tea lovers probably feel sick by now. Sorry. I’m such a kid at heart. Every time I sit there watching my steaming cup of tea, I’m thinking ‘wow look at that, I’m drinking tea.’ It’s like in that diaper pant commercial I used to watch a long time ago. ‘Mommy wow, I’m a big girl now.’.
Veronica Mars – the movie
I just watched Veronica Mars – the movie. It’s taken me a while to finally get round to it, but I’m glad I did. At first I thought ‘this is just for the devoted fans’ (like me), but after a while I started thinking that this is actually better than season 3. I laughed out loud several times. There’s something about the lines that really appeal to me.
What I didn’t like was the way Mac and Wallace had been relegated to being minor characters. After all, since Duncan disappeared, it’s really only been Veronica and her dad and Logan who were depicted as major characters, at least that’s the way it seemed to me. I would have liked to see more of Mac, especially. (And – were Mac and Wallace a couple? I couldn’t really tell.)
All in all, this was a fun movie to watch and I can really recommend it to anyone who liked the series or thinks they might like it. If so, I’d recommend you watch the series first.
Now I’m hoping for more. Another movie, another season of the series… On IMDB, it says Veronica would have been working for the FBI in the canceled season 4. That sounds like a great start to a new season. Oh, well, one can always dream.
