The Internet Has Twisted Me
posted in Rantings |I’m getting mildly crotchety in my old age. I spend way too much time on the internet reading insightful blog posts and other forums. I tell ya, it’s wearing me out. I’ve had it up to -here- though with blatant apostrophe abuse. People, an apostrophe does not mean “hang on there’s an s coming!”
So when I read this post about the author wearing an “Arrest Bush” t-shirt to his local Outback restaurant and being confronted by a little old lady, I was dumbfounded. On one hand, he had a salient point about what happens after we arrest Bush; that the little old lady wanted to make sure he knew about the Nuremburg war crimes, and that Bush needed to be tried against those standards, and the little old lady was agreeing with him. On the other, he used an apostophe in a possessive “its” ( … as it’s guiding power… )
Damn, damn damn. Whatever shall I do?
