Probably write a book on errant apostrophes. Although I expect somebody already has.

In the scheme of things it doesn't really matter. I understood what you writ.

As Jack Hawkins said to his officers In The Cruel Sea, "Blah Blah but no biggy but it is good if you get these things right" or words to that effect, but in his case he was getting a Corvette, Compass Rose, ready for it's first voyage so maybe a bit more important than an apostrophe being in the right place or even there at all.

The older I get the more interesting life is because of it.

Well 4bee, for me it's about the conversation, not the punctuation and this conversation I'm enjoying.

Can they do that? Little buggers must mature fast, I thought they were just tadpoles.
