So, for example, I might answer Vinny's post with a great big Whack since he got his apostrophe in the wrong place - too late to edit it now, Vinny.
Well then I should prepare myself for being whacked many times per day.

moderators'

To form the possessive noun of our singular Sailor Steve you should've placed your apostrophe between the r and the s - putting it on the end describes more than one moderator

I really don't want to become involved in this but in all honesty, very few if any truly knew Steve's feelings on the matter so I would respectfully suggest this is not a good idea Glynn.

I make the above statement based on literally dozens of conversations Steve and I had on the subject matter over the years.

What ever, I was wondering if your M-I-L's fence had kicked your ###.

We're a special bunch.



This is how I explain Subsim to Normies who ask, "Do you have a cooking thread?"

^ The fence fell down again (well the bit I'd tried to fix anyway) - fingers crossed I've done a better job this time
