  1. It's the possessive use of it - the bottoms belonging to men = men's bottoms
    Just in case you cared a little bit ;)

    oh ok, i still don't care but it explains why henry's cafe isn't henry is cafe (and i intentionally didn;t use acapital for henry just because.

    oh and i didn't intend to use the ; thing where the ' thing should be but i thought afterwards it may annoy.

  9. Indeed. Noteworthy - pay attention at the back, for Christ's sake - is that "men" is already a plural, so the apostrophe goes before the "s". If the plural of man was "manses", it would be "kissing manses' bottoms", with the apostrophe after the "s".

    It's merely showing possession, as in "Ricky stroked Birdie's silky thighs"...

    isn't that a bit inside your arse?
     
  13. Oh dear, I'm in trouble again with Mrs Sydney for laughing loudly after lights out.
    Note the comma, capital I and apostrophe m. However Mrs Sydney is concerned whether there should be an exclamation mark after "dear".
    Any views on the matter?
     
  14. Actually it should be "Ricky stroked Birdy's silky thighs".

  15. You're right ;)
     
  16. It gets on my wick when people at work don't proof read documents prior to sending them. Mis-use (or lack of use) of apostrophes is bad...but one document went out saying £50000 rather than £500000. That is inexcusable!
     
  17. I would've used an exclamation mark, indicating an jolly ejaculation.

    Did someone mention a semicolon?

    I am never sure about those: or when they are appropriate,was the use of it wrong there?
