    In fairness, whoever decided that an apostrophe can indicate contraction and possession almost everywhere except in the extremely common usage of belonging to it, just wanted to be a contrary little bitch and give pedants something to feel smug about.












  • An old JW boss of mine almost lost his wife during the birth of his first child when she was badly haemorrhaging at home.

    I tried asking him about it (a few years after the event) and he was obviously defensive, but the gist was that they wouldn’t have taken a transfusion, and that he would have accepted losing her.

    I’m not convinced - I think the decision was more dictated by her than him - but that would have been the end result.

    Absolute madness
