I declared a truce in another thread, but since you stated you didn't understand my apostrophe comment, I'll explain - not in a mean spirited fashion, but just for clarification, OK?

There is a difference between plural and possessive when it comes to using apostrophes. If you notice, I just used a plural (apostrophes) without using an apostrophe. That's because it's plural, not possessive or a contraction, like the two words, "That's" and "it's" are in this sentence.

In general, you use apostrophes when the word ending in "s" is possessive (i.e.: "Bob's" wiener) or is a contraction (i.e.: "it's" really big, meaning it is really big) but not when the word is just plural, such as in "wieners".

When a word naturally ends in "s" and you want to make it possessive, you put the apostrophe after the "s", which is really kind of weird.

I hope all that is correct, since I don't use a disclaimer in my signature. :D Although part of my job in marketing is to write copy, I haven't been to an English class since I graduated college back before dirt was invented.

Bob:

Obstinate. I like that word, but with OS, stubborn as a mule would be a better and more charitable despcription.

Mark:

I thought Bob had bought a ball park frank and a beer at the game? :D

MTD, Sr.

Thank you for the warning but if you notice, I am always in danger or under attack all the time. I've gotten use to it. It's like working DI games all the time. There are no breaks, you are always under the gun.

Bob, would it be possible to get a copy or link to the forum rules.

Thanks for the English lesson Mark. Now I remember, I was never any good at this subject. Now I remember why!

The D1 refs that I know don't feel in danger or under attack all the time. You must be talking about wreck ball. That's where the real danger lies.

For Pete's sake!!
 

You're right, Juulie. In fact, it's getting so bad, I'm thinking about carrying a gun to games. Oh wait - never mind. :p


BTW - Juulie, please check your email. Thanks.

I like the website....

And...you spelled all four words correctly!!!

Just yanking your chain. :D

I always pictured you with dark hair. :D

That's not me, it's my Uncle Lance. :D

Thanks for the correction and BRILLIANT! The only problem is many others quote him which causes his post to be visible whether you ignore him or not.
It makes the ignore list nearly useless.

This is true. Way too much of his foolishness gets quoted. But the more of us that banish Old Stool to the ignore list, the fewer quotes will slip into the conversation.

As a public service, I think the forum software should automatically add him to everybody's ignore list (but allow Jeff to opt out because he's the Iron Ignorer and doesn't need no stinking ignore list to ignore him).
