re the horses birthday here's the reason:
The horses birthday is taken from August 1st in the year in which it was foaled. If it was foaled between the first day of January and the thirtieth day of June, the age is determined as August 1st in the year previous to the year in which it was foaled.

What's most charming about the Welsh language -- I learned subsequently -- is that they have no possessive verb akin to our "to have." Rather, they say that the possessed item is "with them." As in: "Mae'n nghar gyda fi" meaning "There is a car with me" -- i.e. "I have a car"!

No offence to JimSally (whose acquaintance I made two weeks back via this forum, and who claimed -- tongue in cheek, mind you -- to be sleeping with my wife (of which there is none)), but all this time I had thought of him as an intellect.

I know "it's" means "it is," but I've wanted to know: what's the possessive for "it"? Like "it's punctuation" or "it's hat"?

"Its" - no apostrophe
Sat. 8/1/09 4:23am

The possessive of "it" is "its" -- no apostrophe! (It breaks the rule of other possessives, to avoid confusion with the "it is" contraction.)

Possessives are hard...hardly anyone in America knows how to use the apostrophe correctly (signs that have plurals written as possessives with the useless apostrophe drive me NUTS).

Right on, brother. The other, concomitant, thing that bugs me is the use of "straight up-and-down" quotation marks -- i.e. minute marks!) They are not apostrophes nor quote marks. Sheesh!

No one who learnt French as their first language would ever misplace an apostrophe, methinks. They are important for clear written communication, after all. Like they are meant to be in English as well. I may be wrong...

"There / their / they're" is the worst transgression of all. It makes clarity a haphazard thing. But it must be the most widespread (and growing) faux pas in written English today.

It does make it worse, Brian, true. Any major language changes considerably through time and place, especially English, which is both welcoming of foreign terms, and enjoying an unprecedented hegemony over language on Earth.
We all have to bear with the fact that English is the "de rigueur" "lingua franca" that we all share in our collective "Weltanshauung."

Personal urns are a new and exciting way to memorialize your loved one.
Now we can create a custom urn in the image of your loved one or favorite Celebrity.

There's a rule (whose name I can't recall) that says: Anytime (as in a graffito, say) there is a spelling or grammar error, someone will add a correction, and the correction will ALWAYS have an error of its own!
(Like when guys on the internet accuse others of being illiterate, and they say things like "at least I can RITE a SENTANCE"... blah blah blah

There's a huge garden of tulips (not lilies) in Ottawa at parliament Hill. The bulbs are a yearly gift from the Netherlands, in honour of the Canadian Army's liberation of Holland in WW2, and for our sheltering of the Dutch Royal Family in exile then. Queen Beatrix's sister Margaret (or some such) was born in Ottawa while they were exiled -- the operating room was declared Dutch territory for a few hours so she could be fully "legitimate."

Hey FEN, I noticed you mentioned Tolley-Brown during the first hour. I was in Holloway circa 1993 but I had friends in Tolley-Brown... did you have a show at the radio station in Tolley-Brown's basement? Was it WMNJ-FM ("10 watts of throbbing music power") or was it still WERD back then? WFMU's Stork was there around '79-'80ish (?) when it was WERD (carrier current AM).
