This should be "indicates," not "indicate." You also used a run-on sentence. Why are you leaving such sloppy and obvious errors? Are you som kind of troll?


As for "indicates" vs. "indicates" I stated his errors pointed to a single indication. Let's try this:

"As I was driving, six different traffic signs (indicate. indicates) that there is an emergency." Since the errors indicate one thing rather than the errors indicates one thing, I consider the usage was correct.

I may be wrong but I do not think it is a run-on sentence. The two conclusions are referring to the same initial point. Let's say I had said this in a shorter way. "Your sloppy errors indicate your mistakes, and show you don't care." I think this is not a run-on sentence and thus I consider the longer one isn't either. Perhaps I could have broken it into two sentences, but I'd have to break it in the form "to preview the message. It also shows you don't..." and thus it would be breaking the flow. I think this means the initial form was reasonable, and not a run-on. If, however, you have some explanation as to why it is a run-on, please do so, if I truly have made an error I do want to learn.

Also, if I was being disingenuous, I would be "some kind of troll" not "som kind of troll." Yew reely knead two bee suer youre werds are koreckt befour kritisizing othors.
