Maybe somebody stumbled on our humble topic and thought it was intended to teach grammar by example...

The person who apparently worships those who are poorly-informed and poorly-educated actually managed to succeed in his efforts--for now. Right now, he is probably on the deck of the USS Enterprise, extolling the virtues of the person whom he thinks is its former skipper--Andrew Jackson.

Wow ... I know this is a male centric thread... but I feel I need to share my thoughts.
That is totally messed up that men are expected to feel comfortable just pulling out their gentiles in front of other people and urinating.

Apparently those of the Jewish faith are not a problem.

Funny, I have a deja vu that post may have been in reply to one of MY posts extolling the male advantages of being to find a tree, any tree, in nature, should the need arise. But I always find a lone tree for privacy reasons.

If I get pissed off in public it has nothing to do with urinating!

Perhaps OP meant "!" instead of "l"?

This is why you should never judge a book by it's cover.

Also, the tendency to pluralize nouns by simply making it a possessive drives me bonkers!!! Either (a) writer is too lazy or (b) too ignorant.


Examples:
body: written as "body's", instead of "bodies"
city: written as "city's", instead of "cities"
calf: written as "calf's", instead of "calves"

That is what I refer to as the... When in doubt, throw in an apostrophe... rule that is followed by some people.
Rather than laziness, I think that it is much more likely to be the result of ignorance.
