Hey, just FYI, because these English rules about contractions can be very complex and confusing: you would never contract in this case. You would always write out β€œthere is.” One helpful way to think about it is that β€œthere is” is only contracted if it’s followed by an object:

  • There’s a spider in the room!
  • There’s the problem!

but if it’s followed by punctuation, don’t contract it:

  • He thinks there isn’t, but there is.
  • There is, and it is large.

Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules
2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of β€œpeasantry” to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
