Freelancer reporting for duty.

Also, I think another reason might be the fact that Ironworks is like a siren's song. We may stray, but in the end, we cannot resist its sweet song. [/QUOTE]That's deep, but also very true. [/QUOTE]Opposed to my normal tidbits of wisdom, which are deep but very false? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

It's because you're bored; as in you are bored. Not your bored, which shows ownership. But, then again, maybe he owns the board, it's difficult to say.

How the heck did we get to this point??

Then it has to go at the end. Otherwise it's short for Hive is. I think he's got hives anyway, so we're all good. Some would say were all good, 'course, that's wrong too.

What are you talking about? Are you another drunk reporting for duty?

Nope. It would only go at the end if his name were "Hives". Apostrophe-ess to indicate possession. Just an apostrophe if the name ends in an ess. Sometimes people throw an apostrophe-ess at the end even if the name ends in ess.

John's deer.
Santa's clause.
Kris' kringle.
Kris's kringle.

I'm pretty sure the last is bad grammer (care to confirm, Illumina?), but it seems to be commonly accepted.

[Illumina Drathiran'ar]

You know, I was always uncomfortable with possessives ending in ess. I prefer to avoid it completely. Instead of talking about the love of Jesus, for example, I'll say "Christ's love." Here, I would say "Santa's kringle" but something might be lost. The kringle of Kris? "Kris' kringle" seems to be accepted, but it upsets my nerves and I always have to go lie down for a little while after I'm forced to write something like that.

Also, I get the feeling that it changes from country to country. I seem to recall hearing that Americans can say "Kris' kringle" but in England the rule might be "Kris's kringle." This is similar to the rule of commas in quotations... Again, I'm not sure, but I was under the impression that the American rule would be:

The flavors we can select are "Cherry," "Strawberry," and "Peach."

While I was under the impression that elsewhere the rule was:


I myself use the latter, as it seems more correct to me in an intrinsic sort of way.
