I am curious, now that Kayleigh is aware of the competition between the two of you, who will get to 2000 posts first! When grammar and spelling *are* applied, they certainly help posts appear eloquent, but I feel that content and intent are more important, especially when posts are intended to be funny. For example, I feel WWWP's thread, "I've just reached a significant amount of posts," is amusing and her description of the race was quite eloquently suspenseful, even though technically post count should be described by a number and not an amount. I feel grammar errors are cute.

Actually, if you're going to be anal about it, both 'are' and 'is' can be applied equally in that sentence.
Now, back to writing generic hippy songs.

"Are" is indeed more correct, well, if you're going to be anal about that is.
