[Ads-l] More Facebook-isms

"More transgender representation and direct voices in this matter _is_
critical."

Has it *really* become a rule of English grammar that the number of the
verb is determined not by its subject, but by the number of the
closest-preceding nominal, regardless?

"Who is her?"

Does anyone *really* talk like this?! Clearly, someone really *writes* like
this!
