 * I am trying to achieve this result:
    There are no comments There is 1 comment
   There are x comments
 * I cannot use the normal comments_popup_link for this simply because I don’t want
   the entire “are no comments”, “is 1 comment”, “are x comments” to link, only 
   the “no commments”, “1 comment” and “x comments”.
 * Here’s what my tag looks like:
    `<code> There <?php comments_number('are <a href
   ="' . comments_link() . '"> no comments','is <a href="' . comments_link() . '"
   > 1 comment','are <a href="' . comments_link() . '">% comments'); ?></a> </code
   >
 * And it’s outputting totally screwy code to the point where I don’t know what 
   it’s doing. Any help?
