Does
Hi!
Is does used correctly here? I keep thinking it should be do...
Thanks
The law and politics also suit them, as does public service, social administration, public relations and advertising.

Wow, good question. I don't know, now I'm confused too... Considering that natives say "Here is my car and my bike" and ""Here are my car and my bike", maybe "as does + list of things" is ok...

Well, you guys seem to like examples... then I thought of founding one with "does":
Lobbying records show his firm collected $1.5 million in fees last year from 42 clients, most of them beach communities up and down both coasts. Avalon, N.J., retains Marlowe, as does Fort Myers, Fla., and San Clemente, Calif.

I have lots of weapons — as does most Americans
I don't like does here - I would use do.
EG: I have lost of weapons as do most people (I don't think does would be correct in this instance)

Howdy MrP,
thanks! Maybe that reporter was a little stoned... Anyway, you didn't comment on the other usage of "does" (with lists). Do you think it is possible, or even better? Thanks

If there is more than one person/thing in the list, I would use DO
If the list has two things which are both singular and there is an OR between them, I would use DOES
Perhaps someone could confirm...
