Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Is this ad for St. Pauli beer any more offensive than the usual big beer company ads? Because, I'm thinking... no.
I'm thinking no, too. Especially for St. Pauli!
But there are styles that use the apostrophe (maybe AP, because I think the NY Times does it).
I think the Times does it because of all-caps headlines, or I'm remembering that chat with the copyeditor wrong. CEOs is more readable than CEOS.
I think I'll stick with it for now, since it seems Old School in keeping with my fondness for the serial comma and Courier New. OTOH, I wouldn't want anyone reading my manuscripts to think I'm so Old School that I must be elderly, instead of a 36-year-old with four decades or so writing left in me.
We just got back from seeing Grace and now we are taking K to get her hair cut at a place on Magnolia in Burbank. We are busy busy people.
I hate the apostrophe because it is unnecessary
And can be confusing.
I had no idea that the serial comma was thought to be old-fashioned. I think it is just, you know, correct!
Frenchy's, Kat?
Why am I an enormous apostrophe nerd? Here's the Q-n-A that says the Times dropped the apostrophe. [link]
Nope, Robin, Wax Poetic.

Well, you're in good company here!
That's where I go now! Nice peeps.
I dislike the apostrophe, because to me, that indicates a possessive.
Me too.

Um, no. Heineken's recent campaign (robot girl with a keg where her uterus should be) wins for the most offensive beer ad, in my book.
