I'm From South Africa. My education is in zoology. I love the outdoors and traveling. I also do some art and photography. I worked as an overland adventure travel guide in Africa and taught English in Taiwan before coming to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia where I currently reside.

3 AnswersOther - Careers & Employment9 years agoDo we use "Is" or "Are" in this sentence?
MSWord grammar checker accepts both for this one. What do you think and why:
There is/are a station, a bookshop and an airport near my house.
I'd say "are" because it's a list. A colleague is willing to bet money that it's "is". Can anyone refer me to a similar example on an authoritive website - have searched; didn't find.

5 AnswersSaudi Arabia1 decade agoAre the real sports among the supporters?
During the 2nd Lions/Springboks match at a local pub, there were both British and SA supporters. Both sides' suppoters were disgusted by dirty play and and both sides applauded sportsmanly when the opposition team played good rugby. Afterwards the Brits congratulated the Saffers on their team's victory and the Saffers complimented the tough opposition. Then we all had a round of Springbokkies (a SA shooters drink), a couple of beers and compared current players to rugby legends from the past in good spirits.
In contrast to this the comments of both the Lions and Springboks coaches were very disappointing. In all Geech's comments he never gave credit to his opponents for their win and Div is probably the only SAn who thinks there's nothing wrong with Schalk Burger's early transgression. Bit disappointed in the example these leaders set to young sports people, in order to try and regain face.
