Grammar Nazi-ing....(After a trip to GD)
Advertisements [?]
I've got to say this because it's driving me fucking crazy! When you want to pluralize something, you do not use apostrophe s. You ad an s or es and in some cases the word changes all together. When it's someone's family name, such as Smith, it's not Smith's, it's Smiths. Did you not pay attention in 3rd grade when your teacher was explaining this to you!? Good God. :nuke:
OH GOd, and at work, there's an auto note that goes in and instead of saying mortgagors, it says mtgr's. :grr: It makes me insane like 60 times a day! <end rant>
Thanks, I think I feel better now.
Duckie
