anyone else getting this Mumsnet promoted link on Active threads?

I want to know which @MNHQ

I started a thread some time ago, entitled, I think, 'There's plurals here'. This use of the singular 'is' instead of 'are' has me longing to correct posts and to shout at the radio. I don't just mean 'is' and 'are' from the verb 'to be'. There are other examples.
