I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The cafe I'm in has cats. Three feral cats. The cafe people are trying to tame them so hopefully they can have homes. In any event, they're gonna get the cats fixed.
The kitties are just hanging out at the back of the cafe, playing under the couch. I wish they weren't feral so I could go play with them....

I guess I should do find and replace and lose the apostrophes. It's just tough because I'm so used to them that leaving them out looks wrong to me.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Robin, I texted your number to Kat's phone.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I embrace the apostrophe in this sort of situation only when it makes things clearer, as in "There are 6 I's in the first clause of this sentence."
Tep is me. When I was an editor, this is how I did it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think I almost made a co-worker cry. I'm not entirely sure why or how.

OMG. Hate.
The thing about the St. Pauli Girl ad brouhaha that annoys me is that NOW has taken a position on it and I think it makes them look over-reactionary. As per Jesse's link, there are MUCH more offensive - and dangerous! - acts aimed toward women happening every day. Condemning this ad just seems... weird. And kind of dumb.

Oh, shit. You think that was it?
