A syllabus written by a certain professor who shall remain nameless about drove me crazy because of the author's constant use of there's with a plural object. Here are a few examples from the syllabus:

.....* These are the kinds of things that we'll get what we think we'll get from them. That there's promises that are understood from allegiance and loyalty to this.

.....* Well, this left him with a perception of life that he didn't have before, a perception of, "Wow, there's people out there that are really suffering."

.....* There's prayers to ancestors asking for assistance on this path.

.....* There's not a lot of stories or a lot of grand legends around his death.

I don't remember a single there are in the entire syllabus.
