>the nazi's do serve a purpose

The Nazis!

Bob the Angry Flower loves you!

Might want to take this subject up with Bob the Angry Flower.

You know, it would be a lot easier to just link to this.

Exactly the opposite. With most words, you can use 's to indicate possesive or contract with is. You don't use 's to indicate possesive with it, you use its.

Here, I'll let Bob explain further

Bob loves you.

I'm ok as long as nobody uses "Kofi Annan". I've been playing CS under that tag for over a year... Why, you ask? Linkage

Nothing like a little peacekeeping to reduce stress levels... (Or raise them, depending on how badly I'm getting trounced...)

Your plurals: "Programmers" and "Exec's". How to use the apostrophe!

Downloading 5 dvd's is illegal.

You're not the only one.

Bob the Angry Flower has some words for you.

Bob the Angry Flower has a few words for you.

I don't even know who that is, but apparently I agree with him (or her?).
Also, you would benefit greatly from this: http://angryflower.com/bobsqu.gif, my illiterate friend.

The apostrophe abuse here makes me think that the guy who wrote this should be sent "memo's" about how to use "apostrophe's" AAAAAH!

How to use the apostrophe.

Hate to be anal, but slashdot editors, please....

it 's horrible logo

Emphasis mine. Come on, it's not that hard.

In other news, I'm glad they apparently decided not to use "Roogle"... something about that word disturbs me deeply on a primal level.

Or it's horrible logo. The site needs a little work, but it seems like a good enough idea.

Most of my dailies are listed in various strings, but each Friday, never forget....

Bob the Angry Flower!

Hey, that sounds like a potential Bob the Angry Flower cartoon. I imagine Sinistar could be involved too...

This article doesn't categorical say that CPUs isn't the generally used form -

cf. (But IOUs is common and accepted, and the usual plural of CD is CDs)

Here's a couple of other posts, there are a more to be found on Google:

http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~gernot/style-guide.h tm l

"What's the plural of CPU? CPUs or CPU's? If you look at journals employing professional typesetters you'll find that the answer is clear: CPUs is a plural while CPU's indicates a possession or attribution"

"Kenneth G. Wilson (The Columbia Guide to Standard American English. Copyright © 1993 Columbia University Press - http://www.bartleby.com/68/58/458.html) discusses the apostrophe:

(1) to indicate a missing letter or letters, as in contractions such as isn't, they're, and it's,

(2) to distinguish genitives of nouns from noun plurals not in the genitive (boy's, boys', but plural boys), and

(3) sometimes to mark plural numbers and letters (three 6's, two A's). Never use an apostrophe in front of the -s ending that forms a plural noun."

And finally...

A quick guide to the apostrophe...

eh... I pushed one of the buttons and nothing happened...

But anyway, it's 'controversy'.

very quick Rules of Go. Helpful!

Take a look at this cartoon please.

You get a 0 out of 3! Time for re-education...

I think Bob the Angry Flower has an even better solution to The Vegetarian's Dilemma

> You'd rather we eat LIVE ones?

Well...

No. CD's is prefectly correct in some situations.

"That CD's case is on top of the player."
"This CD's TOC is all messed up."

Bob will set you right.. :)

It's so rare that the Industry steals from Bob the Angry Flower.

CD's have only been out ~ 20 years, DVD's half of that.

Pluralization of a word does not give it an apostrophe.

Better yet, read Atlas Shrugged, Part Two: One hour later!

So you're talking about this strategy? As it was, only Gollum's intervention saved Frodo from being overcome at the last minute. Plot spoiler! :)

I haven't seen any of the movies yet but I hope they manage to convey just how powerful the ring actually is in corrupting those who come near it.

you forgot this one Attempts to reconcile Quantum physics with Relativity [angryflower.com];)

Happy Birthday Quantum Physics! :)

Please read this cartoon.

Hot chicks can make a difference. I think that Bob the Angry Flower said it best.

Don't you people keep up? Bob the Angry Flower reconciled quantum physics wtih relativity a couple of years back :-)

I've actualy seen one of those.

And let me be probably one of the few people that disliked it.

The personalities of the characters were different (Hermione isn't cool under pressure in the books, for instance; Dumbledore isn't just a nice grandfather type - he's actually quite amusing, making his character carry more weight when he occasionally DOES get serious), the quiddich match was ALL wrong (quiddich and flying are about freedom to Harry - do you ever get that feeling from the movie? Not really) and the sorting het didn't even sing. There's more than that, but I could come up with a list of things that I think fundamentally flaw the movie that's literally pages long. As my girlfriend said, it was like someone did a quick book report, and made it a movie.

I'm pretty amenable to Book-to-Movie conversions, but the movie was a pale shadow of the book. I LOVED LotR. I even liked Johnny Mnemonic. I'll probably never rent Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone again, let alone buy it, which is dissapointing to me.

I'll see the second one, but I've got the same expectations of it. I hope I'm wrong.

Stephen Notley (Bob the Angry Flower cartoonist) seems to think similarily to me, though. You can read his review of the second movie here.

I second that motion

Not only does he need Bob the Angry Flower, his soundcard deleted his hard drive?

...

What's even scarier is that there are this many comments telling a person that he is wrong when he so isn't. I mean, come on guys, even the Flowers know the real way to use the apostrophe: http://angryflower.com/bobsqu.gif

If I'm in the theater to watch TTT for the first time, and you're in the very same theater but to see your fourth iteration, and you might be getting a little teensy bit bored, if you perchance forget where you are and you take a call on _your_ fucking cell phone, I get to kill you with my +5 Vorpal (Offical) LoTR Special DVDs.

personally if some asshat beside me feels the need to take a call while I'm watching TTT my weapon of choice would prob include a +20 Mace Of Bashing!!!

That is all.

Please see Bob's Guide to the Apostrophe.

It's "Foes" not "Foe's" fucktard.

See: "Bob's Quick Guide to the Apostrophe, You Idiots" (An unwelcome education product)

Bob the Angry Flower disagrees with you. Don't make the flower mad. (See "Some popular but incorrect rules", rule #2, "VCR's".)

I agree. Can't people follow the simplest English punctuation? :-) Check out Bob The Angry Flower for a tutorial for the apostrophe impared.
