Is anyone else old enough to remember that some typewriters had a special key for 1/2 and 1/4 (you used the shift key to get the 1/4)? I remember being thrilled that I could type it properly! I think it was the one that currently has ` and ~.

I've had occasional similar problems where it's been related to my keyboard running amok. In those cases, I have to unplug and replug in (it's a PS2 keyboard with a USB convertor) and things go back to normal. Also, occasionally, my space bar will go crazy and just insert spaces and it looks like it's wiped out all the words when in actually it has really just added 20 pages of spaces!! It only happens to me maybe once a month or so, though, and I've never lost an entire document, but that's because I've almost gotten used to it so that it doesn't startle me quite as much and I can take immediate corrective action.

Technology...gotta love it!

Into or In to?
"Into is a preposition that has many definitions, but they all generally relate to direction.
On the other hand, in by itself can be an adverb, preposition, or adjective (and to by itself is a preposition or an adverb). Sometimes in and to just end up next to each other.

Maybe examples will help!

onelook.com is a good dictionary source on-line.
Were is correct.
Subject: Were is correct.

As the word remainder represents a portion, the verb to use is determined by the noun in the "of phrase" that follows. In your case, "forms" is plural so use were.

This rule also applies for other "portion" words such as none, all, some, part, etc. Hope this helps.

PS: See 'The Blue Book of Grammar and Punctuation' by Jane Straus.
