Comments on: More things our grandkids will never understand http://www.stickycomics.com/more_grandkids_dont_understand/ comics drawn on sticky notes and other stuff Thu, 04 Mar 2010 23:32:50 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Katie http://www.stickycomics.com/more_grandkids_dont_understand/#comment-2077 Katie Tue, 02 Mar 2010 16:20:22 +0000 http://www.stickycomics.com/?p=441#comment-2077 Are you kidding me? No GOOD grammarian would argue that an apostrophe is appropriate to clarify a plural. An apostrophe is used solely to clarify ownership or to mark the omission of characters. As the term ‘CD’ means compact disc (thus no letters are missing), it is not appropriate to randomly stick an apostrophe in there. The CDs are also not owning anything. The solution would be to make the S a little smaller, and that’s all the clarification you need. For God’s sake, I’m seventeen and I know this. Are you kidding me?

How about computer punch cards for running programs? How about early computers that took up the size of a small house with way less capabilities than what we have now?

I feel very proud that I'm a younger person and I know what all of these things are. I love my falco and Phantom Of The Opera casettes and my 1925 black and white restored version of Phantom Of The Opera on VHS! Lesse . . . Books. I mean, they ARE the interent for people who can follow a storyline. Unfortunatley, with Kindle and EBooks parading around the web, movable printed type will probably be a thing of the past at some point. ): I also love my grandparents old rotary phone, by the way. Writing'll be obsolete at some point, I reckon -- not spelling, but writing itself. It'll be taken over by email and texting. :( Cheers, Mac. Hehe.

Exceptions would be words such that pluralizing with s or es would result in a lack of clarity (OSes?)... in which case you do use the apostrophe. However, you use an apostrophe where clarity isn't affected by leaving it out. Thus, you have a grammar error and must fix it immediately!
