Yes, Brothers and Sisters . . .

(A reflection prompted by a popular Christian song) “There’s gonna be a brighter day”  – Correct! “There are gonna be some brighter days” – Correct! “There’s gonna be some brighter days”  – WRONG!  (And that’s the popular song!  Teaching bad grammar to millions of naïve children . . . and parents!)
