Wikileaks To Sell Hugo Chavez' Email

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "Wikileaks seems to be a bit hard-up for cash, so they're trying a little experiment. They plan to auction off an archive with three years worth of Hugo Chavez' email. The winner will get a period of embargoed access to break any stories they can find in the files, while Wikileaks will later publish the archive in full. Wikileaks plans to use the profits for their legal defense fund, but they may run into trouble because most reputable news outlets have policies against paying sources."

I tried to find a video of the helicopter hanging from Scarface, which I think is what it could also lead to but I couldn't find it...

Re:incorrect apostrophe use

That rant would be fine if it were accurate. It's not, and therefore it's ludicrous. For the English genitive, -' is relatively old-fashioned, and -'s is more common in recent years. I suggest you actually learn some grammar before deciding to harangue the rest of the planet. Come on, even Wikipedia gets this right. Stop wallowing in self-righteousness.

Only one half of one of his rules at the end is wrong, and then it's only somewhat wrong, because, as yous state, modern standard use is as he says. Also, you come off as more self-righteous, AC. The GP is a national treasure.

Why thank you.

I'd also like to point out I know all the rules, but actually getting people to use all of them is pointless at this point in time. So I explained something, as I said, extremely over simplified, in the stead of being 100% accurate. Also, to the AC, I'll be fixing that wikipedia article, thanks for pointing that out to me.
