I got a netbook today, to take with me to my sister's tomorrow. It's so cute and wee! I've named it "Chekov".

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
AP Style: Apostrophe S after a single letter, e.g., "mind your p's and q's." No apostrophe for the rest, so it's IDSs. That looks very weird, but I checked and the patent office uses IDSs.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
It's like a little piece of heaven with bagels and muffin tops.

t quite impolite and a bit selfish Um, is it OK to pop in Natter after skipping-and-skimming to the point of understanding how lurkers-support-stuff-in-e-mail, just in order to exploit the hivemind in English grammar question(s)?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I wish television news had to run a ticker with relevant facts under every speaker.
Oh, that's even better.

B/c it shouldn't be in Nilly's post - a co-worker just came up to me and basically said "you! do this now!"
1) FU
2) I don't work for you, and please or courtesy go a long way, FU.
3) When I do start letting you know what is what DO NOT F'in QUESTION ME ON MY ANSWERS YOU F'in MFer.
ps - if you had an ounce of intuitiveness you would know that I am about half a twitch away from cutting someone, now it's a good chance that soemone will be you.
