Oh LJ, why are you not perfect?
Mar. 6th, 2012 06:41 pmLiveJournal's troubles are so ... interesting. At the moment, I can read my friends page with no trouble at all. If I try actually to respond to any of those posts - hah. Forget it.
The internet says that LJ is almost down, hanging in by its fingernails at the moment. I am sure that this has nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that there was an election in Russia at the weekend, and a number of people are* disenchanted with the result.
*I find myself constitutionally incapable of typing "a number of people is", although that would seem to be correct in the matter of, um, number.
[EtA: I would and will always say "there has been a number", not "there have been a number". But put the verb on the other side of the phrase, and suddenly I fall the other way. *shrugs* Don't ask me.]
