- Nice bit on the virus as a plural debate raging in geek circles... What's the Plural of Virus?, also I liked this fussiness enough to quote it. =)
Yes, I hated this sentence, too. It takes the singular verb "is" because the singular "an example" is the closer of the two elements in the disjunction, but likewise, "support" should be in the plural because the closer thing to it is now "two", which is obviously nonsingular. I think only a rewrite would be tolerable. Silly rules.
Note that domain name too! Another good bit from the same SlashDot thread.

- OK, Can you find one person on the net who abuses html, bashes gays, is anti-catholic, and against: role-playing games, cartoons, contraceptives, evolution, feminism, the US flag, Free Masons, heavy metal music, Marvel Comics, the horrible "Occult" Ronald McDonald, Microsoft, Power Rangers, Science Fiction, minatures (yes, cute little figurines), Swedish and Canadian people, television, tennis, vegetarians, masturbation, jeans, jewelry, dinosaurs, Barney, the Beatles, Care Bears, Abortion, BIKINIS, Esperanto (yes, the language!), and of course, Dungeons and Dragons!
Bikinis! "Swimming clothes" which arouse sinful sexual thoughts!!! didn't mean us to wear clothes!

The hostile team now consists of scads of people hardly ever posting to this site! Of course that doesn't actually equate to any more posts, it just ups the brownian motion of the system a bit more.
