|
By:
Proper names require starting with a capital letter.
I'm not so sure about usernames. |

she was a real tease , always wore heels , stockings , boots & loved to show them off to us while virtually making love to the blackboard

By:
I would have thought user names, strictly speaking, should be started with capitals.

I thought I knew the answer (yes, apostrophe) but then I read the cook's annual leave/cooks' annual leave post (leave belonging to the cook/cooks) and the point that the leave doesn't belong to the day/days so I think no apostrophe (basic rule with apostrophes is the it replace "his" i.e. the boy, his car; becomes the boy's car... should I be using a semicolon there?
Anyway, head hurting now .... Please, op, just take one day at a time off - no multidays. Or just write 4 days of annual leave. |

By:
Couldn't you just ask for your annual leave
 |
|
By:
it is a full name though , maybe even his real one ?
Yes .. so was I ... Makybe Diva |

By:
In rob_dylan's defence, he DID use capitals when he called himself UTI. Unfortunately, everyone thought he was called U.T.I. rather than the intended oochi!

I love Maths and Science, I'm not doing these courses for the qualifications but for the betterment of myself. I've completed a Python programming course and into my 2nd Android course. I'm struggling with Android but it's my preferred format for a few ideas I have.
Pokerstaples is also decent http://www.twitch.tv/pokerstaples but it's more interesting listening to their thought process and how it compares to yours. You can even learn from the bad players that stream as you can understand why they make poor decisions. My MTT game isn't great, I've never won anything decent on Stars so it's good for me, I'm finding it really good for learning. |

By:
Good stuff
I'm too busy trying to stay afloat to learn anything worthwhile , you're lucky you've got the time to do what you want with it Yep I know the basic Mtt strategy they'd teach somebody but you learn the most valuable things just by listening to good players chat freely like they do , it may just be one sentence they say during an entire session that hits on you ! |
|
By:
You can ask questions and pick their brains. Grisped, Staples and a few others are a level above my thinking and really good players but I can understand everything they say and my game is improving because of it. It's the same with the average guys however, if you can understand why a player does something you can use it against players that play similarly. I've learned more on Twitch than I have on any training site.

Look: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostrophe#General_principles_for_the_possessive_apostrophe Time, money, and similar An apostrophe is used in time and money references, among others, in constructions such as one hour’s respite, two weeks’ holiday, a dollar’s worth, five pounds’ worth, one mile’s drive from here. This is like an ordinary possessive use. For example, one hour’s respite means a respite of one hour (exactly as the cat’s whiskers means the whiskers of the cat). |

Please note there is no space before a comma. |
|
By:
Even though I was sure I was correct, Patra's reference and this:
http://www.grammarbook.com/punctuation/apostro.asp Rule 7. Amounts of time or money are sometimes used as possessive adjectives that require apostrophes. Incorrect: three days leave Correct: three days' leave Incorrect: my two cents worth Correct: my two cents' worth says I'm wrong. (should this be a capital s?). But it says some times not always. It's beyond me.' |

By:
Sometimes
|
|
By:
Looking at Patra's info from Wiki, I'm a bit surprised to see 'Time, money, and similar'. I would have thought that the comma was not required after the word 'money'. I thought that the last comma in a list was replaced by 'and'.

I put my apostrophes in between my hyperbolies and my onamatapayas
