There are many places that I see apostrophes uses, and I find it odd. For example, in the book Eats Shoots & Leaves , the authress claims that the film "Two Weeks Notice" should have an apostrophe 'twixt 'k' & 's'. In my mind, this means that *I* am not telling my employer that I shall leave in two weeks time, but rather that my two weeks are giving their notice. Guess I learned wrong that apostrophes are used to denote possession or those nasty little contractions that really should be outlawed. If I hear one more idiot ask "where's your Cat?" rather than "where Are you?" someone is going to be awash in eldritch horror and will minus a soul.
@Natch: Mr. Moderator Man, how/where do I request that the contents of a thread be published in a format whereby all good members (i.e. English reading ones) may know what is transpiring in said thread? For all we know, they may be planning a Quebecois invasion of Amurrikha.
