Currently, the only mods/admins there are Rafael and me, so that's a good thing. We'd go out of our minds with that many members. XD

This is just the start of some major changes... next big change happens in under a week. ;-D

You can't misspell grammar...that would be a spelling error... :P

But didn't Icarus just mispell "grammar"?  ;-D
All that is gold does not glitter
Not all who wander are lost
The old that is strong does not wither
Deep roots are not touched by the frost

From the ashes a fire shall be woken
A light from the shadows shall spring
Renewed shall be blade that was broken
The crownless again shall be king

He DID misspell grammar, but it wasn't a grammar mistake. XD

To get married is certainly not a reflexive verb in English though. :P

I think that is unfair unless the courtesy is extended to every forumer.

My queen has no authority over every forumer, therefore should she attempt such thing it would be illegal. :scholar:

We didn't 'loan' that particular word from the German. However, If I translate the different parts of the word literally into Dutch, I think I can make it into what I though it means when I translated it from English. My mind didn't boggle because I couldn't translate it or anything. It boggles because I lack any knowledge of grammar-terms. Sure, I can use grammar rules when I type or talk, but ask me about what term a word is, I wouldn't know, not even in Dutch all the time. :-\

tessspoon

Here's a random question: What's the proper way to make my name possessive? I've always done it Tess's, and my mom Tess'. And I noticed Cat did it Tess', and Kelsey Tess's. ??? Or is there even one?

racx_00

It's upto the individual if they prefer using Tess' or Tess's. That's if I remember correctly from primary school. XD

I believe, but I'm not sure, that you use just an apostrophe on the end of common nouns ("the cats' beds,") but you use an apostrophe and an s for proper nouns (like, say "Tess's post," for example. XP) I think it's because people are used to the word "cats" because it has an s on it and it's possessive, and it doesn't occur to people that there should actually be 2 s sounds for plural and possessive. There is no plural for of "Tess," so you need the extra s sound for it to sound normal.
