Oh, how I wish people online would learn the proper way to make nouns plural.

Is “got it Right” something the Germans possess?

Maybe it’s a contraction for “The German has got it right”.

That sentence is correct when read as containing a contraction.

I’d imagine that an individual German is capable of having created the parade float in question

A Trojan Unicorn? Nonononononono.......If that was meant to depict a unicorn, the horn would be up achme...acme....akmi....Skippy’s donkey.

Sorry guys, I read his use of the apostrophe to show a contraction and not to imply possession. That is, a contraction of the INFORMAL sentence “The German has got it right.”

We probably have better things to do then spend time critiquing our fellow FReepers’ grammar.

yes, but the pic is more important than the grammar.

It’s actually sort of silly to have assumed that a single parade float in one German burg should be construed as somehow being representative of Germans as a whole.

So, ti’s a contraction. Logic so dictates, lol.

Obama portrayed as a cowboy. How humiliating.

That bug’s me too—when people put apostrophe’s in the wrong place’s. I see it all the time.

So there was only one German who built the float? Come on!

I just wish they hadn’t insulted cowboys by depicting the Illegal as one, instead of the animated subhuman turd he is.
