Just as a note, if you look at the URL of that image it is from xkcd.com

[–]Agehn 7 points8 points ago

But no with no context, so first-time readers can't keep browsing the other comics, and more importantly, no hovertext.

Being currently involved in a Reddit debate over whether the Union fought the Civil War to end slavery (It didn't), I can confirm that this XKCD is the best ever. I try and recall it when I know I need to give up the ghost and just let someone be dumb.

I fear I've fallen into this trap in another thread.

[–]FishBonePendant 1 point2 points ago

Not fallen, stumbled is the proper verb for this situation.

[–]mshamba 1 point2 points ago

Is it peoples or peoples'?

[–]B7U12EYE 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Possessive plural. Yes, peoples' is correct.

[–]mshamba 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Gotcha, not a native english speaker. That stuff always confuses me.

[–]B7U12EYE 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

If it end with an "s" to show you mean more than one and you want it to mean they own or possess whatever you're talking about you do what OP posted. The alternative would be "peoples's" which just doesn't look right. Don't worry though, most native English speakers mess up the possessive plural. Hell, most people don't even know the difference between your and you're anymore.

[–]the_showerhead 0 points1 point ago

The apostrophe shows it's possessive. So "that is Randall's comic". You add " 's " to the end. Except words already ending in S, you just add an ' to the end. Also "its" is the only word I know of you don't add an apostrophe to.

Hope I'm helping and not seeming insulting, I just wanted to help explain :D

[–]mshamba 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Got that! What if you want to say "it is mine." Does the "its" have an apostrophe to become "it's mine?"

[–]the_showerhead 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Mostly correct, yeah! It is mine becomes It's mine. But when It is the subject (instead of myself the subject, and 'it' the object, as above) you use Its. Such as "See that bear over there? Its home is a cave." Which just reminded me, they works like this, they would become their "That is their cave." Maybe all pronouns work like this, now that I think about it. English sucks because there are a whole lot of "Every word does _____ except for these ones." It's makes more sense just to become exposed to it and learn through usage rather than rules.

Edit: Someone commented, and it is indeed a personal pronoun thing. "his, hers, theirs, ours, yours"

[–]mshamba 0 points1 point ago

Thanks for the help! I don't think my english is that bad, to be honest, but sometimes I just sit there and wonder what the correct grammar to use is. Your examples made it more clear. I cringe when people mix "there, they're and there" Or "could of" with "could have." Or "then" and "than".
lol so I'm just making sure I avoid making mistakes.

[–]the_showerhead 0 points1 point ago

I would never have guessed that English wasn't your first language. And hey, I've been speaking it my whole life and sometimes still wonder what some of the various rules are.

[–]av4rice 0 points1 point ago

Also "its" is the only word I know of you don't add an apostrophe to.

his, hers, theirs, ours, yours

It's a personal pronoun thing.

Thanks, those didn't come up off the top of my head when thinking about it.

Every once in a while my friends think it's funny to drag people into my room and show them what happens if you show me this website. I almost always end up screaming at my monitor.

Well, i would disagree.

Your lack of capitalization proves that your opinion is wrong.

Opinions can't be wrong.
