When did this trend of pluralizing words by adding a gratuitous apostrophe before the s begin? I don’t remember seeing this before a few years ago, and now it’s all over the place. Certainly nobody ever learned this in school.
English is a very tough language to learn. Just about THE ONLY THING THAT’S EASY is being able to pluralize most words by adding an s.

Even though I KNEW I’d still be in Manhattan at midnight, I forgot to queue up Sunday’s post.
I’m just lucky I don’t fire me.
Apparently, comments containing really long URLs go into Moderation: it’s as if the program’s just too lazy to read it all and figures “Yeah, there must be something bad in there somewhere.”

Today, in a bit of synchronicity, I heard two totally unrelated references to the proverbial “slacker who lives in his mother’s basement” (in one, he spends every waking hour playing WoW; in the other, tweeting insane conspuracy theories).
Is this something that actually happens? It seems to me that if a child never leaves home, or returns home after graduation or whatever, he’d be in his old bedroom. Kinda rude to banish him into the basement, innit?
And I’m giving this one an LOL
(And I’m pretty sure he showed up twice yesterday)
… but just in case, I moved it over to the Crimeweek Page.
