I see this same mistake at least three times on the front page headlines on FR this morning.
There is no excuse, so save the effort and apply it to LEARNING YOUR OWN LANGUAGE.
Amen, Val!
I think you "saw this same mistake," but your point is taken.
Hey, lighten up. We have posters from all over here, and maybe some of them aren't perfect in English. So what?
You should post the rule so others know. If I recall it has something to do with a possesive noun? I dont recall all the stuff I learned in high school
No doubt the real crime in this article is the murder of the English language. ;)
Hello Val...can we get your English Remedial course on the Internet...I have made a few errors in the past and need to bone-up!
Nonetheless, the poor use of English...especially in the titles, is increasingly more common in here lately.
The plural of Egyptian is Egyptians - not Egyptian's.
The plural of Israeli is Israelis - not Israeli's.
Why don't people know this?????
