I'm going to agree with World Traveler - 'shipping and handling' is a single entity.

If it were two completely separate items, and not one entity, it would be 'are' - e.g. The books and pencils ARE on the table.  Two separate things.  Shipping and handling, in this case, is a single fee/notion.

I plead guilty to this. I honestly thought it was 1 word. I

started noticing "auto-correct" fixed it. I TRY my best when typing & writing, to use correct spelling & punctuation. I have to admit, sometimes my sentences run together.

Shipping and handling is a single process, making shipping and handling a collective noun.

@Crittersx4.  It's just a single fee called "shipping and handling" so IS is correct.

What drives me crazy is Gabriella constantly saying "Mary, she, is wearing green".  I can remember as a teen my dad explained that it is extremely poor grammar to say a name and then a pronoun.

One person says "go head" instead of go ahead.  It's ok, I know what she means.  If they talk too fast, I can't understand at all.  I like honey nut cheerios.....

Something that drives me crazy is when people (including these blogs) use the 2 words (a lot) as one word (alot).  There is no such word as alot unless you're talking about an allotment.  I found that happens in business also.

Yes....this happens alot....

The hosts should also be told it is shipping and HANDLING;  not shipping and HANDLE-LING.    Didn't they go to school and learn any grammar??????

Your speaking about pronunciation.  Education is important.
