Grammar Rule

 STOP SAYING "THERE'S".

The odds are you are using it incorrectly.

I hear the misuse on network news, in commercials, and just about everywhere.

"There's" is a contraction for "THERE IS". It MUST have a singular object of the verb.

NOT There's hundreds of cars on the lot.

NOT There's three bikes on the lawn.

NOT There's 500 legislators attending the meeting.

Some actual examples:

“There’s several things I want to do right out of the gate.”
