Kinda strange how this forum started from introducing yourself, to saying Chicken's grammar sucks. Just thought I mentioned this (yes, I know what you said Post)

At least, spelling doesn't matter if you are one of the people who can read this:

Not only were the first two lines and signature added later and are absent from the original piece, but the author of those lines has missed the point. The first and last letters have to be in the right places. The 55% "statistic" is made up on the spot; the whole point is that everyone (at least, every native speaker) can read it.

On average, 45% of statistics you read on the internet are just made up on the spot. :)Sentynel wrote: The 55% "statistic" is made up on the spot;

No, I know it's not true. I'm just saying, if you can read it, why bother with spelling?
(On second thought, don't answer that.)

Uhhh... my entire school system says that apostrophes are used if the last letter is s. This has been stressed in every grade multiple times. Wikipedia is wrong, I think.

I doubt it. That type of pages are generally well researched. Heck, my English grammar book agrees.
Then again my English grammar book was edited by Marxist rebels with no prior knowledge of English. ;)

Your entire school system is wrong. Go them. You use just an apostrophe for possessive if the last letter is s, as in Charles' book rather than Charles's book, but the plural of a word ending in s uses no apostrophe, eg the plural of "dress" is "dresses".rubberchickenben wrote: Uhhh... my entire school system says that apostrophes are used if the last letter is s.

O.o Did you go chasing after Bella or something? You know the Cullens doesn't want you to drink her blood. I doubt even you could stand up to all of them.

What do you mean? I'm a newbie, it's your job to welcome me here. Though you do a stinkish job of it. I mean, threatening to kill someone isn't freindly, even if it wouldn't work.

You don't understand. I mean, say, "the dresses' sleeve" not "the dress' are on the shelf". Possessive for words ending in s is just an apostophe.Sentynel wrote:Your entire school system is wrong.
