Thin,

Not trolling; it legit baffles me when native English speakers/writers can't get apostrophes right.

de captain - If you know you're going to be pulling an all-nighter or two, get your doctor to prescribe a 1/2 dozen Provigil pills for you. Works great and keeps your mind from getting that foggy feeling. Also, it doesn't keep you awake if you want to go to sleep after taking them (unlike caffeine).

Fighter pilots and Long Haulers use them as standard issue.

I'm hoppin' on El D's apostrophe abuse train. I swear to God, some people use them for simple pluralizations, like they're getting paid royalties or something.

Not understanding possessives is like straight up guessing on there, they're, their. Always funny.

I remember making a thread on Who's Parking Spot Is This? or something and was mortified when someone(El Diablo obv) pointed out the error. I felt bad and I should have felt bad.

I find using "welching" instead of "welshing" to be pretty tilting for some reason. Probably because IIRC, OG language nit p_j used "welch"

When I saw that the Robert Wone thread had sprung back to life, for a brief moment I thought that they had finally, after 20,000 posts, run out of things to argue about in the Amanda Knox thread.

oT,

"Welching" is absolutely fine, if not more correct in modern language.

I know my their they're there but wouldn't have a clue on apostrophe's (lol). I could google obv and I'd know in a sec but where's the thrill in that ? I thought welching was the correct for, e.g. welching on a bet. Welshing sounds like something Welsh people do.

I believe that's the etymology.

Princess Superstar said "I'm gonna own everything like I'm an apostrophe". You also use them is in contractions, like in "I'm". The exception to the owning is with "its".

Helpful eh?

Always have used welch, but the I'm a lot closer to Wales than most of you and they're an easily offended bunch.

I don't make apostrophe mistakes but I consistently blow lay/lie when I'm speaking. Mrs. Treesong has corrected my usage 2103948203948230948 times but I still often don't get it right. I'm not sure why I have a mental block on:

After loosening my belt, I'm going to go lie down.
I loosen my belt, take it off, and lay it down.

I was actually tempted to try to count the number of times in that thread that Oski, 239, or KEN DINE have called one another liars or shills. A thousand, maybe?

I don't like where apostrophe is on the keyboard so I skip them a lot. My hatred of red lines makes me use them. I find myself leaving words out of sentences sometimes even after I proof read. I wonder what that is about.

I just got 10 free online casino dollars. The catch is I have to 100x it before I can cash out. Im going to make them regret giving me money.

U,

I understand people leaving out apostrophes sometimes. It's adding them into plural word's that I think is super odd.

What's the big deal with the bonus? Just go black black black red black black red and you should be good to go.

I was going to just keep pressing craps but I couldnt figure out how to put odds on my practice bet. Roulette it is.

I always thought online casinos were a scam. A few years ago I was hanging out with these girls and they had this younger dude as a roommate. I helped him bink second place in a poker tourney for like 4k, just helping him play better pre flop and basic ****. I felt really good about helping him get a decent roll and went and played beer pong in the living room. I came back and he gave it all back playing online blackjack.

There is a surly, obese woman in sweatpants at work who won't talk to me. Not really threadworthy, but if it was I want you guys to know the thread title would have been Codename: Frontbutt.
