BTW if anyone wishes to read a book on this subject, I've heard Eats, shoots, and leaves is quite good. It's all about proper punctuation use. I haven't read it yet, but I plan to some day.

So...is that how I get a free lunch? Or how I get a healthy lunch? I Eat, Shoot, and leave, or I Eat shoots and leaves?

So, in order to become more accepted I must now capitalize everything and use correct punctuation? Does this mean I can point out incorrect grammar in everyone's threads, or no?

:mrgreen:

hmm so now I'm afraid I'll be banned for my spelling mistakes here but I still don't get the rule of apostrophes at the end of the word... sometimes it is very clear and logical but sometimes... well.. I just can't stand them... we don't use apostrophes in our language....

Well Mentos, in our language it's the only way to say that "I" own something... like in my name...

Chris' big dog is a fast runner.

if it didn't have that it would be.

Chris big dog is a fast runner. (which isn't a real sentence)
The second one with out the apostrophe is almost saying that Chris IS the big dog...
