A tiny little apostrophe question

[Fishbowl Helmet]

For what it's worth I asked a friend who edits a prominent space science journal which style guide she uses, apparently the standard is ACS.

Henry Kuttner's Hogben stories.

Innnteresting, thanks.

Excellent. I like people to just tell me what to do.

I'd never have guessed.

I'd also have said Caarr, not Cuurrr, but that could be a whole new thread.

Very interesting discussion. Just for the record, springs, to me he was always 'Care'.

Oh, and sandals are best avoided. Just copy us Brazilians and wear trendy flip flops!

Does that hold for people telling (or merely asking) you not to do things? Like, perhaps 'please don't split infinitives, it disturbs me"? (Oh, and the 'pronounciation' in the title of the related thread {and yes, I'd always thought of it as two syllables car-è})

Of course I'm following this, but it seems to be getting ahead very nicely without my intervention. For what it's worth, I'm with Ursa's definitive negative.

Sadly, no. I still left my crusts this morning. And oops, I hate mis-spelling thread titles.

Another 12 pages and we have our 16 page target. Yay.


I think.



Still, my glass has always been full.

All I can say is,

'Alchemist, when you get that there tractor o yours out past the whin bushes me an yous headin up the road sir. We'll take a wean o sodas and hav a wee chat wi that there Springs lad'.

Nice going springs when you 'google' Culchies in Space now; you get this thread. And now I'm going in circles.

Sadly, since I'm nearer all the Ballys than Belfast, I suspect I'm one too.

How fab is that! I might print the google search out and frame it.

I love it you now have culchies on Google Springs!

Even better you're one of us too - very exclusive club
