can some one explain to me

Yeah, but you got to understand, yeah, that today's youth, yeah, are different to past times, yeah, and you got to make allowances.

I hate every other word being "yeah" or "innit".
 
You have to keep saying 'yeah' in order that your miniscule on-board cache can catch up with the words coming out of your mouth and beneficially, this also allows the fellow knuckle draggers to keep up with you.

When I did my Dinghy Instructor's course a couple of years ago, I criticised a fellow student for continually saying 'yeah' after every three words. I was nealy lynched!

Actually, I am not a follower of fashion, so excuse me for missing this one, but for plural, I still use are - in both spoken and written communication.

I can understand the abreviated version though.... I could say "There's 6 of them" but could not say "There is 6" - oooh, that latter just sounds so wrong. But the former actually doesn't.

Yet "there's 6 of them" is actually an abbreviation of "there is 6 of them"?

Don't worry, both happen.

I frequently hear "there is 2,3,4" (whatever) on the local radio.
