You keep telling yourself that, despite all the evidence you produce to the contrary. BTW, there’s nothing to get. You’re wrong. joedoe presented links with evidence. I presented links with evidence. Scotty1 presented a book reference with evidence. Anyone can google for links with evidence. Just type in “apostrophe” and away you go.
but where is your info comming from???..if you read on the net, it’s gotta be correct .godam*ned Toby… i dig your stlye, but I’ll b foked…

It is incredibly easy to get a job teaching English in China. You don’t have to be any sort of expert or even be able to speak it ‘properly’ in order to get a job. [/B]
LOL
That’s true!

In the ulikely event that she really is an English teacher, your pity would be more appropriately reserved for her students!
But what am I saying? There is no way in hell that drooling loon is actually a teacher!:eek:
Well, there’s no way in hell she’s QUALIFIED to be a teacher. Unfortunately (and here’s a scary thought) the people who hired her might not know the difference!
Have you ever tried watching a Hong Kong Kung Fu flick and the subtitled English is SOOOO bad you can’t understand WHAT it’s supposed to mean? Well now you know who trained the translater.
LOL! Out of sheer coincidence, my wife just sent me this link
thx for the group bash, you big heros…
I don’t care what you think you know… make sure you shout out on the boards yourself when you’re doing anything but singing your own praises…
hello…
westerner / maer in trouble…sos…undrfed, undrepaid, overworked, undrerslept, and drinking like a mofo… looking for some understanding you *******s!!!
If you’re looking for some understanding, try to admit when you’re wrong. Try to be a bit more open and stop accusing everyone that disagrees with you of trolling. You don’t deserve any understanding or compassion. At best, you deserve pity.
And in case you “can’t open” joedoe’s link, here’s the info for you. Care to comment?
The Apostrophe Protection Society
23 Vauxhall Road, Boston, Lincs. PE21 0JB
United Kingdom
Email: john.richards2@virgin.net
The Apostrophe Protection Society was started in 2001 by John Richards, now its Chairman, with the specific aim of preserving the correct use of this currently much abused punctuation mark in all forms of text written in the English language.
The rules concerning the use of Apostrophes in written English are very simple:
-
They are used to denote a missing letter or letters, for example:
I can’t instead of I cannot
I don’t instead of I do not
it’s instead of it is -
They are used to denote possession, for example:
the dog’s bone
the company’s logo
Jones’s bakery (but Joneses’ bakery if owned by more than one Jones)
… but please note that the possessive form of it does not take an apostrophe any more than ours, yours or hers do
the bone is in its mouth
… however, if there are two or more dogs, companies or Joneses in our example, the apostrophe comes after the ‘s’:
the dogs’ bones
the companies’ logos
Joneses’ bakeries
-
Apostrophes are NEVER ever used to denote plurals! Common examples of such abuse (all seen in real life!) are:
Banana’s for sale which of course should read Bananas for sale
Menu’s printed to order which should read Menus printed to order
MOT’s at this garage which should read MOTs at this garage
1000’s of bargains here! which should read 1000s of bargains here!
New CD’s just in! which should read New CDs just in!
Buy your Xmas tree’s here! which should read Buy your Xmas trees here!
Note: Special care must be taken over the use of your and you’re as they sound the same but are used quite differently:
your is possessive as in this is your pen
you’re is short for you are as in you’re coming over to my house
We are aware of the way the English language is evolving during use, and do not intend any direct criticism of those who have made the mistakes above. We are just reminding all writers of English text, whether on notices or in documents of any type, of the correct usage of the apostrophe should you wish to put right mistakes you may have inadvertently made.

If you present anything to me in another format that I understand ( and lol , but in the acadmeic world , watchya got???), of course I’ll take note and review on it… it just doesn’t happen here often is all…sorry…
I know even you smell the BS there… We have constantly given you documented info backing our statements on everything from fitness to MA history to grammar, and you dismiss it all and stick to your own opinions despite our constantly proving you wrong. Then, when we ask for you to provide something to back your claims, it’s always “I’ll get back to you on that” and you NEVER do.
