@Blake: "For any true stickler... the sight of the plural word 'Book's' with an apostrophe in it will trigger a ghastly private emotional process similar to the stages of bereavement, though greatly accelerated. First there is shock...shock gives way to disbelief, disbelief to pain, and pain to anger...anger gives way to a righteous urge to perpetrate an act of criminal damage with the aid of a permanent marker."
All I know is that my "kid's" take up a lot of space. The kid's clothes, the kid's toys, the kid's bike, and so on.
ReplyDeleteKid is are great? Why is it that unnecessary quotation marks make me laugh, and apostrophe abuse makes me feel ill and grumpy?
ReplyDelete@Blake: Probably because there's a way to interpret the quotation marks as necessary, but the apostrophe is bad grammar no matter how you cut it.
ReplyDelete@Classic Steve: bingo!
ReplyDeleteWV: undess-- what mute female pirates do before bed. (hint: there's no 'arg')
