Great tips, I always remove contractions to sound more formal and add authority to my speech.

I was wondering why “there’re” sounds so unfamiliar to me, and it’s probably because informally I would probably say “there’s examples” - not grammatically correct but slips off the tongue better. Maybe a dialect thing: “Look, there’s birds in them trees!”
