#there are rules about that

[amynchan]

guys...

the apostrophe has two jobs. Two.

Job 1) indicate that two words have been mushed together with a sound omission. these are called contractions. can't, won't, and shouldn't fall under this category.

Job 2) indicate that one thing owns another thing. this is the job of -'s (for one owner) or -s' (for multiple owners). The girl's ball (the ball that belongs to the girl). The girls' ball (the ball that belongs to a group of girls instead of just one girl).

the apostrophe does not indicate more than one.

This is a plural, and a plural only needs an -s or -es. Some special words get an internal shift, but you really do not need an apostrophe for plurals. You will confuse your audience.

The disciple's went to the back hills. <<<doesn't make sense. I'm expecting the disciples to own something here. When there's nothing for them to own, it takes me a minute to figure out what the heck you meant by writing this.

The disciple's bunnies went to the back hills. <<<<does make sense. The bunnies that belonged to one disciple went to the back hills. idk why, maybe they went on an adventure. However nonsensical the tale (or tail), the sentence itself makes sense, and I can visualize what's going on in my head.

The disciples went to the back hills. <<<<does make sense. the disciples went to the back hills. Not as fun as bunny adventures, but it makes sense.

Please do not overwork the poor apostrophe and give it more jobs than it currently has. The apostrophe has two (2) big jobs in English: contractions and possession. Let the plurals be free of apostrophes, I beg you.

Part of the reason that Republicans are so desperately acting like they will never lose again is because they are deeply terrified that this is their last real chance to win. The big orange dipshit came in and gutted the party of everyone who wasn't a loyalist, which left it full of nasty little gremlins who have gaping voids where charisma and human decency is supposed to go.

They still hold a lot of power, but if we stop them this year the next presidential election may not be the Most Important One Of Your Life™, that's not a guarantee or anything, but if they don't win here and now their future looks grim, this dipshit is the only guy they have left and he's extremely diminished and has his brains leaking out of his ears at this point. We can beat him into the ground.

So that's what we're gonna fucking do. We're gonna break these fucking fash. They will crash upon us and we're gonna break their fucking necks. When they come for us they will lose because they're fucking losers and we have each other's backs which is something they fundamentally are incapable of comprehending.

still ruminating over Lost In the Book With Spooky Skeletons Part 1, so here's a selection of some of my favorite little bits! (...some more loosely paraphrased than others) (I just feel like Idia has no room to criticize in general, okay)

anyway, I'm sure we're just going to have a fun time celebrating Halloween and nothing bad is going to happen whatsoever! :)

I want a fic where Tim unwittingly becomes the rebellious kid after his dad dies because he has a hard time adjusting from his latchkey kid with absentee parents life to the almost constant adult supervision at Wayne Manor.

Like, Tim spent years sneaking around to do Batman shit and even when he got in trouble, if he waited long enough his parents would either leave town or forget about it.

Now he’s getting the ‘I’m not mad, I’m disappointed’ talk from Bruce for skipping school and supplementing half his meals with energy drinks and is just like: ???? Nothing has changed??

Tim gets hurt on patrol and Bruce tells him that Robin will not be out in Gotham the next night, and then gets mad when he finds Tim on a rooftop in his civies taking pictures. Tim is just like: Robin’s not out. I followed your order. What’s the problem?

Tim disappears for a few days following a lead and gets grounded for not telling anybody where he went (even though he did. It’s in the Batcomputer) and for missing school which he interprets as meaning that Robin is grounded (can’t patrol). So it’s confusing when he gets in trouble again for inviting Kon over to hang out because he’s ‘grounded’ which doesn’t even make sense because Bruce isn’t even home??

Danny is a Fae at Starbucks

So! Danny works by Fae Rules, Names and all, but he has no idea about that because he was forced to run away from Home (and the Ghost portal) before his Ghostly Education could be completed.

He runs to Gotham and eventually gets a job at Starbucks, or some other Cafe.

He has to ask the question "Could I get your name please?" A LOT while working there. And unintentionally steals hundreds of Names by the end of his first day, much less a week or a month into his job.

One day, Constantine visits Gotham for a Meeting with Batman, but by the time he gets to the Meeting Point he has bigger issues to discuss.

"Why the hell does half of your City belong to a Fae Lord?!"

My ideal Tim and Jason dynamic is basically:

Tim: Kill yourself (100% serious)

Jason: Kill me yourself, bootlicker (also 100% serious)
