ARRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH! »

For the last goddamned time!

You do not, not, NOT (never, under no circumstances, not EVER!) use an apostrophe to make a word plural. It’s not “molly’s” unless it belongs to one molly, and certainly not “mollie’s” unless the fish’s name happens to be Mollie. It’s “mollies”, shit-for-brains, because when you pluralise English words that end in the letter ‘y’, most of the time you do so by changing the ‘y’ to ‘ie’ and adding an ‘s’. Apostrophes are used to indicate a possessive. Watch…

One puppy. A dozen puppies. The ball belongs to one puppy; it is the puppy’s ball. All twelve puppies play with the ball, but it belongs to only one of them, so it is not the puppies’ ball.

One molly. A dozen mollies. Not molly’s, mollie’s or mollys. Mollies.

The food belongs to the molly, so it is the molly’s food, but all of the mollies try to eat the food because they wish it were the mollies’ food. Wishing doesn’t make it so, though, and that includes the times you wish you understood the basic rules of English grammar and spelling. Idiot. Every time you use an apostrophe to make a word plural, God kills a little fuzzy baby kitten. YOU are directly responsible for the deaths (not the death’s) of those innocent kittens. How do you sleep at night?

Christ in a sidecar! Where did these arsewipes go to school? Vera Caldwell would’ve had my six-year-old head roasting on a spit if I hadn’t learned better than that. How are they not embarrassed? How can they read something that has a pretty good chance of being correct (like…oh…let’s say, a grammar book?) and not see that “one of these things is not like the other”? Why don’t they even care when they look like illiterate fools? Well, I suppose that the man with no nose can’t smell even the biggest pile of cow shit.
