An excellent and amusing summary of the apostrophe.

What is the mysterious inscription scrawled across the crotchal area of He Who Must Not Be Named?

There are hundreds of people on both sides of the hunting issue? I didn't realize that there were that many schizophrenic hunters/PETA members.

slightly O/T -- I was doing the double-crostic in yesterday's Chicago Trib (or possibly Sun-Times); and noticed that the author's name was appearing as D_V_ _A_RY. Needless to say, I solved it WAY faster than usual (although I was disappointed not to find "booger" included in the text.) End O/T

I hate to point out grammatical-type errors but:
"Q. How many letters will you get from people who are upset because you used apostrophes incorrectly in this column?
A. Hundreds."
The correct answer is, of course, "Hundred's".

Um, at the risk of sounding like an idiot (not that I'd really mind), what's a barberho? Is that when you have your (not you're) hair cut by two barbers?

that was cold.
a bibliographic note: a book by Lynn Truss called Eats, Shoots and Leaves. one of the most hilarious grammar books.

Coconuts, the s.b.

There is NOTHING wrong with appreciating young, handsome, talented guys who can...um...what is it that they do again judi?Posted by: Siouxie | August 30, 2010 at 08:40 PM
They harmonize, Siouxie. Usually they have great rhythm too. Or so I've heard.
Posted by: nursecindy | August 30, 2010 at 10:56 PM
How's their tempo?

Punctuate the following:
"A woman without her man is nothing."
Male response:
"A woman, without her man, is nothing."
Female response:
"A woman: without her, man is nothing."
Go figure! 20 more days! Arrrr.
