Were All Going To Hell
by Quinn
Apostrophes can be a problem; just ask those brain boxes on The Apprentice who on last week’s programme debated for around three hours whether it should be Single’s Day, Singles’ Day or Singles Day. (Singles’ Day, in my opinion, as it is both plural and possessive.) But who hasn’t made the odd mistake, writing “it’s” instead of “its”, or “your” instead of “you’re”, out of sloppiness, say, even when we do know the correct usage?
However, this, from the ever-entertaining GrammarBlog, really does take the prize.
The sheer weight of the apostrophe misuse here is astonishing; these are no mere typos, rather the work of someone whose grasp of the written word is so poor that “Punctuator’s” should surely join the rest on this list of the damned.
My favourite punctuation error has got to be “Thieve’s”, a word that is so commonplace and this attempt at writing it so wrong that a tiny child could spot the error at a glance; even “Thief’s” would be an improvement, although then I would be curious as to just what it is, belonging to the thief, that is in need of repenting. For different reasons I also love the inclusion of those pesky “Sport’s Nut’s” on the list; the realisation that they, along with “Loud Mouth Women”, “Effeminate Men” and some others will also get short shrift from St. Peter come the day is highly enlightening. I’m even more glad now that I abandoned my City season ticket a few years ago.
And what’s all that about “High Fallutent”? Do they mean “High Falutin’”? Or even, “High Fallutin’’s”? Perhaps even they don’t know.
PostScript: Please feel free to point out any of my grammatical errors in the comments box; it’s the only way I’ll learn.
The Obscurer 
I’m sure they could have saved their printing bills if they’d have changed it to who didn’t love the devil, the rather broad titles encompass quite a lot of people. I was surprised with the Emo thing. I talked with Emo and before and he looked like this:
After being told he was going to go to hell he looked a little like this:
He is a shadow of his former self but it was only a matter of time before his past caught up with him. As you know he’s one of the wifebeater’s, he’s one of the gambler’s and defo he’s one of the drunkard’s.
Anyone know what a PK is? All I can find is that it’s a Player Kill mode on 9Dragons whatever that is or Pink Sheets or Primary Key (Databases). From experiences they are all pretty evil.
Isn’t PK a type of chewing gum? You know, the sugar-coated sort that you eat if you want to pretend to be Marine Boy?
PK and Marine boy I’d all but forgotten about. Since we are reminiscing. I had a bit of solo reminisce with Sea Kings. Matchboxes launch into the warship area in 1976. I saw a few at the toy museum just outside Chatsworth. They had an aircraft carrier that my brother used to have and all the others that we used to have including my Frigate all for three pounds each.
For a sneaky peak of the fun a small boy could have in the 70’s look here http://www.zamyatin.co.uk/blogpics/boa.jpg. They had wheels and everything. Some of them had moving guns. So who wants a Barbie?
