Apparently!

There are some pretty obvious spelling and grammar errors....is, I think, the correct way to write it but I'd say it has "there's". Is that grammatically incorrect or OK?

Not "there is" (there's) because you are listing more than one thing - the spelling and the grammar. Just as you wouldn't say "There is a sheep and a cow in the field", you'd say "There are...".

No prize then ?

I'd maybe say "there's" as well, but am not an officially recognized pedant.
Pedantically, it is WRONG!!

Damn - I was hoping someone would say "...but it's OK, Doodle. It's acceptable through usage!" or summat like that.

Right, i appear to got myself into a row on another message board, hence, this thread. I shall now start another thread on here, asking for ammunition!
