You have my deepest sympathy.

 

I know that it is upsetting to find that one's mostly deeply held truths

have always been wrong.

    Forget it David. You're dealing with the most arrogant, lying linux

    troll to every visit this ng.

    He left once, promising to never return...which turned out to be just

    another one of his incessant lies. He hates MS and Vista and thinks the

    sun rises on all things linux.

    Of all the people in all the ng's his daily actions are the most egregious.

    Wrong, I paid for a copy of the software or music and that's exactly

    what I got. Now telling me what I can do with my legally obtained copy

    of software or music is what I'm talking about.

    Compared to what MS has scammed off of people, the Nigerian scams are

    chicken feed.

    Shooting the messenger instead of addressing content seems to be a bad

    habit of yours when you've been check mated. Did you learn that amateur

    debating "tactic" from reading Frank's posts?

    How about assuming most people are honest like they used to? That

    Note that although some people use just the apostrophe after singular nouns

    ending in s (the witness' testimony, Burns' poetry), the -'s is generally

    preferred because it more accurately reflects the modern pronunciation of

    these forms. However, in a few cases where the -'s is not pronounced, it is

    usual to add just the apostrophe: for righteousness' (appearance') sake.

    Another one who can't address content and can only use ad hominems in a

    lame attempt to distract from the fact that you're WRONG. Try this, hot

    shot, put Alias's in Thunderbird, MS Word or anything that has English

    real time spell check and see what happens. Then put Alias' and see what

    happens. I have and each and every application says that Alias' is fine

    but Alias's isn't. Oops.

    Re: alias is an idiot, please ignore all alias's posts!

     

    OK, fool.

     

    I put the following sentences in MS Word 2007

    We went to Alias’s house. We went to Alias’ house.

    Please ignore Alias’ posts. Please ignore Alias’s posts.

    James' car was wrecked. James's car was wrecked.

     

    None were marked incorrect. Yes, I do have real time grammar and spell

    check turned on.

     

    When I typed:

     

    He hit Achilles' heel. He hit Achilles's heel.

    The second of the two was marked wrong.

     

    Yes, this is perfectly consistent with numerous online style manuals. Try

    this one.

    http://www.grammarbook.com/english_rules.asp All of the following examples

    are correct:

    Mr. Jones's golf clubs

    Texas's weather

    Ms. Straus's daughter

    Jose Sanchez's artwork

    Dr. Hastings's appointment (name is Hastings)

    Mrs. Lees's books (name is Lees)

     

    Frank may be indelicate but he is correct. You are a moron.

    Not what I wrote, but you're famous for trying to twist what people say

    so you can disparage them in your own unique way. I wrote that I own a

    *copy*, not the royalties or right of payment or anything else your

    twisted mind might make up.
