Uh, NO! :lol:

My other english "no-no" - people asking, "Where you AT?" or "Where you gonna be AT?"

A little irking: "I was born in the 1960's." Well, the 1960's WHAT? It's 1960s, people!
Old people are soooo set in their ways!

Note to self...

Watch puncuation. Especially in Philips company, he's a stickler for it.

Oh my!

You know, there is a pet peeve thread that covers stuff like this ;)
:fyi:

Far out, you guys need to find something really worth feeling peeved at! Like um...someone telling you to find something really worth being peeved at :mrgreen:

P.S since we are already off topic, where the heck did the word 'irked' come from? I started using it after someone else used it....who knew I had spent lots of times being 'irked'and I didnt even know it :lol:

Do we need to start a 'cruel grammar' thread? :P

Great idea nessa, see? Great minds again!

That's how an apostrophe is used to show possession.

It also says stick to one formula, so I choose no apostrophes. :)

That's probably good. You're easily confused. :wave:


And just for you, I used extra large apostrophes.

2 pages and 5 days later....I had no idea the reply "Thank-you" instead of "Thank you" would have led to all of this!

Doesn't the possessive apostrophe mean the years belonging to the 1960s, that is, 1960-69? That's how I rationalise the blatant stupidity anyway. :esmile:
