Correct Spelling, Punctuation and Apostrophe Use
Hannah Dvorak-Carbone
From our weekly community newspaper, two examples of why spell-checkers can't fully replace copy editors:
- a mention of a dog wagging its "tale"
- a description of a "bridal path" in a local park
Ron Sharp "In the WCCO webcenter you'll be able to chat live on-line, view exclusive video and photo's ..." The plural of photos is now photo's? Also, is it on-line or online?

Apostrophes. My major bug-bear (I have never seen that expression written down, funny that). When at school I learned a simple rule: if a word has been made from 2 words, and letters missed out, put an apostrophe in there. If it's a word expressing belonging (genetive) like "Dave's dog" the apostrophe is replacing lett...ers, as in "Dave, his dog". I remember that fine. Why do few other people? It isn't hard.Read More
Mary Frances Vookles Pitts grammar natzi sounds good to me...........
Obie Williams Does anyone else abhor the term "cash money"?
Kelly Stevenson I became a fan of this page so I could point out that the apostrophe is a punctuation mark. Your title is redundant.
Pierre I thank you for the welcome. I am writing English and I read here for information. I write to Alice please no fight because I can not be Johnny Depp. I am Pierre. I have the photograph professionnel. I am modele. Thank you.
Nancy Glista Aside from the now well-discussed British aversion to commas, does anyone see a problem with this title: "Healthy Eating, Hygiene and Proper Hand-Washing"?
Joe Dewberry One thing I have a terrible time with is the new "like gibberish" you hear spoken by people under the age of thirty. I'm dreaming of one day interviewing a college graduate and shifting the focus of the interveiw from his/her skills, ability and intelligence to the proper use of the word like.

Did you know that the amount you care about apostrophes and petty gramatical errors, is inversely proportionate to the amount of good sex you've been having recently?
I readed it in won of them 'book' things.
Lissa Berger I simply wait for all Americans to speak proper English.

Early this week I saw a greeting on a marquee that said:
Happy
Thank's
Giving
Before I could get back to it to take a picture, it had been changed to:
Happy Thanksgiving!
I'm just glad I'm not the only person who noticed the error.
Aloha from Kauai!

I've decided to adopt the word "fuckaround" as a noun. Examples include:
"I'm going to need to see a marked reduction in fuckaround in this place."
and
"That guy is no fuckaround."
