Beings you're a VWNer. I am surprised you don't just ask for the "sparkly stuff that tickles my throat".... Like the rest of them do---------------- (long em dash there)

it sits heavy in the stomach after DINNER!!

Supper doesn't exist.

Sure does, it's the evening meal. Dinner is the big meal you eat around noon.

That has... too many alternate meanings.

What if they served me glitter glue with pop rocks in it??


Oh, and even if that was an em dash, it would be an incorrect usage of it.

I never realised you BYCers were so nuts....

I'd take my gift back.

 

[mlm Mike]

the trend out here is to call them "a meal". I find that odd

How's Calexit coming?

@mlm Mike

Fixed it.

Another question for the masses... not that I trust your judgment any more after this...

When making a singular word possessive that ends in 'S", do you add another "S" after the apostrophe or leave it?
Example: Atticus' book vs. Atticus's book.

I bugged a few of you for your thoughts already but it was largely inconclusive and it appears to be a style difference. Age seems to be irrelevant. I'm wondering if locale influences.

No extra s, that's nuts and wrong.
