Tricky. Too many layers: ‘skinny’ must bind to ‘fries’ more tightly than the pair does to ‘team’, which must bind more tightly to the pair than to ‘special’. Obviously the correct answer is a re-word, but failing that, the punctuation is tricky.[url=http://theportforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=99890#p99890]Here[/url] jdaw1 wrote:Would it be worth making a special team-skinny-fries request?

Likely not. It was the same type of sign as is most often used for political purposes (i.e. non-permanent). Roughly 11 x 17 and stuck in the ground by its wire frame.jdaw1 wrote:Can it be found on Google’s streetview?
Please clarify the accusation. I would expect "some people's keyboards" as appears currently written (it may have been corrected?) for the keyboards of some people; by comparison "some people's faiths" (the faiths of some people) vs "some peoples' faiths" (the faiths of some peoples) both being different and valid.jdaw1 wrote:This punctuation criticism went wrong.

Ah, their was indeed. I was too apostrophe-focused.jdaw1 wrote:Their was an error.

I've re-read this a couple of times and can't find the problem.

I believe the apostrophe before the 'n' is wrong. I'm not a true linguist so do not know the correct names, but both should be a straight apostrophe and not a curled apostrophe. At the very least they should both be the comma-style curled apostrophe, not the upside down one, as the letter 'n' is not being encapsulated by them. Both represent a missing letter.flash_uk wrote:I've re-read this a couple of times and can't find the problem.

Both should be right single apostrophes, also known as ‘9’s. For the reason you say.Glenn E. wrote:I believe the apostrophe before the 'n' is wrong.
