Surely: "there are the embarrassing ones"?

Haha, there're. Wonder if I can blame Apple Auto-Correct.
Yeaaahh... I did about 40 hours of interviews for some research and transcribed every minute of them. I noticed that not a single person abbreviated "there are" to "there're" - it was "there's" every single time. And now I notice the same thing in everyday speech. So I wouldn't worry about blaming auto-correct.
