you lookin' for someone to take credit? by the way:
Apostrophes Showing Possession
An apostrophe is normally used with the letter s to show ownership or possession.
With most singular nouns, simply add an apostrophe plus the letter s to do this.
An apostrophe plus s is never added to make a noun plural--even a proper noun.
[blockquote]Incorrect: This is Joans jacket.
(Possessive form needs the apostrophe)
Correct: This is Joan's jacket.
Incorrect: He ate four hot dog's at the picnic.
(Not possessive; use no apostrophe to make a noun plural.)
Correct: He ate four hot dogs at the picnic.
Incorrect: We saw the Smith's at the picnic.
(Not possessive; use no apostrophe to make a name plural.)
Correct: We saw the Smiths at the picnic. [/blockquote]
If the singular noun ends with an s, add apostrophe s if the extra syllable is pronounced. If the extra syllable is not pronounced (or if it otherwise looks confusing to add apostrophes), simply add an apostrophe.
[blockquote]Examples: the dress's hem
(Added syllable is pronounced.)
Lloyd Bridges' son
(Added syllable is not pronounced.) [/blockquote]
Some authorities always add an apostrophe only to any word ending with s, regardless of its pronunciation. This is acceptable. Whichever standard you follow, be consistent.
[blockquote]Example: the dress' hem
(Word ends in s, pronunciation does not matter.) [/blockquote]
See also Plural Possessives, Apostrophes with Possessives of More than One Owner, Apostrophes with Italicized and Underlined Items, and Apostrophes with Pronouns.

I went through Los angeles Unified School District. I learned a lot about weights and measurements, different hand guns, oh and our hottest girls utilizing sharpies as eyeliner. I ended up taking my ged so I can help my family a the auto shop at 16 1/2. then when grandparents died I went to community college for a whole 12 months and decided I need to make money so started working and made the mistake of not highering my education. I had gotten married and had kids (not in that order) and now I am stuck collecting peoples money that owe on there mortgage. STAY IN SCHOOL
