I'm editing an article by authors who make abbreviations plural by adding apostrophe + s, yet when they use a possessive (like "the patient's therapy"), they don't use an apostrophe.

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.

Yikes, Amy. "...to urge and encourage"? People, if you can say it with just one word, do! edit: and double yikes to Steph!
I haven't watched Downton Abbey yet, but have been amused at all the angsty posts on FB. It's reminding me there really aren't many shows that I'm watching these days, and even fewer (just one!) that I'm current on.

Super Bowl Sunday was hilarious on FB -- the posts just kind of alternated: Super Bowl, Downton Abbey, Super Bowl, Super Bowl, Downton Abbey, self-important post about how THEY don't watch sports OR own a TV, Downton Abbey, Downton Abbey, Super Bowl.
Also some Puppy Bowl.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I just found Leverage reruns somewhere on my tv dial, so I set up a seasopn pass for them. I have no idea where I was in the viewing before i hit the end of what Netflix had, but I hope I get there soon with this airings. As it is, I will watch an episode until I realize I've seen it before and then erase it. soon I will reach the point of new stuff.
Also started taping Austin City Limits.

"heighten" enrollment rates? Do they mean increase?

The status is NOT quo.
Okay, seriously? I just finished watching Downton and am very annoyed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Downton Abbey ire is making me wonder when is the earliest set (rather than used) incarnation of the hit by a bus/ambulance (to give nod to Wonderfalls) out of nowhere death is. I did see a supercut recently, but I think that everyone who's made at Downton Abbey should be glad that didn't happen instead. Though, admittedly, it seems you were a hair's breadth (still lobbying for hare's breath, but no one's listening...) away. And to be fair to the Wonderfalls ambulance that wasn't purely out of nowhere, which made it funnier.
I need some help, guys--I am running out of reference pictures for couple posing. At least ones that are working for me. Does anyone happen to be sitting on anything I could use for my drawings?

Because books.

That's what I changed it to. This writer in particular has decided to achieve his word counts by reviving words last used in the 13th century, and using as many of them in each sentence as possible.

OMG there is a hawk in my front yard, sitting on the bird feeder a few feet from my picture window, scaring the finches. It's a juvenile, I'm pretty sure, I'm gonna guess red-tail. Wild raptor, so close!

We had a Great Horned Owl cruising the neighborhood for rabbits and strays for a couple of weeks. Hubby saw it nab a rabbit from our front yard early one morning. He was thrilled, but he kept the cats in.
