My question seems to have made things (no apostrophe required)! It has nothing to do with plurals. It has to do with possession or ownerships(as in Peter's book )etc. or where there is a letter missing ( as in "it's" -instead of "it is" but NOT in " the dog lost its toy"(don't me why!) and most definately not for quotation marks which look like this " ". I don't (do not) think text speak is anything to do with it because I text and understand it's (it is)different. An apostrophe can change the meaning of things and how can it be "lazy"to put an apostophe in where there shouldn't be one? Like the menus: chip's, pea's...the chip's what? You are insinutatin that the chip owns something. I'd I had better give in as I seem to be in the minority ..There must be someone out there who's had English grammar lessons!

Someone is trying to convince me that it can, as it is the person's wrong. Personally, I think that's a load of bull. That's like saying people "own" hate, love, jealousy and other emotions. I mean, can I really go onto eBay and say "I'm selling confidence! Only £5!"? I think not.

I am having trouble trying to understand this poem:

Some things are very dear to me--
Such things as flowers bathed by rain
Or patterns traced upon the sea
Or crocuses where snow has lain . . .
The iridescence of a gem,
The moon's cool opalescent light,
Azaleas and the scent of them,
And honeysuckles in the night.
And many sounds are also dear--
Like winds that sing among the trees
Or crickets calling from the weir
Or Negroes humming melodies.
But dearer far than all surmise
Are sudden tear-drops in your eyes



Can anyone help dissect this meaning?

I put a previous employer down as a reference and when she was called she said I had stolen checks and forged them and that she had me on camera, which is totally not true. This is the first I have heard of this.

Do you think that you are intelligent or intellectual? Please post what both mean if you answer(Do NOT just copy something from a dictionary) so that I know that you know what you are talking about.

Hi, when writing photo captions, I often see people are writing sentences like this:
"My dog and I enjoying the sunset at the beach" instead of "My dog and I are enjoying sunset at the beach".

Why is "are" in the above sentence omitted?
