I think you may be getting into a muddle about plurals and genetives

 

I've thought it should be "it's" in your example, with it showing the possession of "our language". However, I notice that MS Word flags me whenever I use "it's" and says it should be "its". I'm confused, so I'll look it up in the Stunk and White when I get chance, but I do remember being taught that there should be an apostrophe when showing possession.

 

The lesson that Mrs Irene taught me many years ago: it's = it is or it has, like in "it's the morning after..."; its means the stuff it possesses, like in "these are its legs." Oh well, as I said, it's been many years ago and its memory is fading

 

I know someone whose username online is "ghoti", pronounced "fish" (a la "cough", "women", "nation")

 

I've just seen a woman's Facebook status saying:

'I can't believe that my gorgeous twin boys are actually 3!!!'

I wrote:

'Wow! Triplets'

 

"I'm sorry, I think we got off on the wrong foot."

I said to the girl in the fetish bar, as I wiped her shoe clean.

 

This is a cry for help. As soon as I stop laughing, I'll send you the name of my therapist.

 

HOW MOSES GOT THE 10 COMMANDMENTS

God went to the Arabs and said,
'I have Commandments for you that will make your lives better.'

The Arabs asked, 'What are Commandments?'
And the Lord said, 'They are rules for living.'

'Can you give us an example?'

'Thou shall not kill.'

'Not kill? We're not interested..'

So He went to the Blacks and said, 'I have Commandments.'

The Blacks wanted an example, and the Lord said,
'Honor thy Father and Mother.'

'Father? We don't know who our fathers are.
We're not interested.'

Then He went to the Mexicans and said,
'I have Commandments.'

The Mexicans also wanted an example, and the Lord said 'Thou shall not steal.'

'Not steal? We're not interested.'

Then He went to the French and said,
'I have Commandments.'

The French too wanted an example and the Lord said, 'Thou shall not commit adultery.'

'Sacre bleu!!! Not commit adultery? We're not interested.'

Finally, He went to the Jews and said,
'I have Commandments..'

'Commandments?' They said, 'How much are they?'

'They're free.'

'We'll take 10.'

During a commercial airline flight an Air Force Pilot was seated next to a young mother with a baby in arms. When the baby began crying during the descent for landing, the mother began nursing the infant as discreetly as possible.

The pilot pretended not to notice and, upon disembarking, he gallantly offered his assistance to help with the various baby-related items.

When the young mother expressed her gratitude, the pilot responded, "Gosh, that 's a good looking baby...and he sure was hungry".

Somewhat embarrassed, the mother explained that her pediatrician said that the time spent on the breast would help alleviate the pressure in the baby 's ears.

The Air Force Pilot sadly shook his head, and in true pilot fashion exclaimed, "And all these years, I've been chewing gum".
