Subject:To apostrophe or not to apostrophe... From:Allison Brochu <ABROCHU -at- US -dot- ORACLE -dot- COM> Date:Mon, 22 Dec 1997 13:07:13 -0800
The its/it's thread reminds me of a lesson I learned in High School,
at the tender age of 16...
Passing angst-filled notes to my very best friend, all about our trials
and tribulations with the opposite sex ("boys"). At one point, I wrote
something like "... at least your being realistic..."
For the rest of the year, whenever she saw me in the hall she shouted,
"How's your Being Realistic today, Allison?!?"
{sigh}
