Apostrophe S is possessive as in "the dog's hair stood up" "the mule's ears are long", whereas the non apostrophed S is plural as in the "the seven seas" "the fifty states". Got it?

Could we possibly ban grammer posts, much like the current ban on political threads?![]()
Apparently, "alright" appears in some (previously) respected dictionaries these days.
Who here over 50 wasn't taught that " all right" is two words????
Another favorite, especially in TV commercials: "less calories" ( or whatever commodity).
If you can put a number to it, it's "fewer", as in calories. If you can't, it's "less", as in "fat".
I've given up on the apostrophe misuse; it's a losing battle.
All this in good fun--we intellectuals know what you rustics mean! ;-)
It depends, Joe, on weather them apostrophes is male or female apostrohes. Too wit: Apostrophi would be correct if they's male, but if they's female they's apostrophae.Apostrophi would be my guess ....
'An' is used before a word beginning with a vowel or word that sounds like it begins with a vowel.
...an apple, an envelope, an S (sounds like es), an L (el),
In your example it depends on how you intend to say the phrase. A Smith & Wesson would be correct.
An S&W (Es & Double U) would be correct.
So is it "an" historical event or "a" historical event?![]()
G-Mac---- I didn't misspell any word in my location. I typed in "Directly over the center of the Earth" when filling out the page and what you see is what the system applied. Not my doing.
