This is insane. Legally (like anyone pays any

cannot do simple things like fitting an

is FAR
more
dangerous to other people!

It's not about safety.* The electrician's union
owns more
government
lawmakers
than the mechanic's union.

Which electrician and which mechanic are you
referring to?

Did you read his post at all?* He referred to a union,
not an
individual.

Did you not see where the apostrophes were at all?* They
referred
to an
individual's union in each case.

You make the assumption he's one of the few who puts the
apostrophes in
the right place.

He's obviously not.

Most will write "electrician's union" to mean the
union for all electricians.

Only the illiterate would do that...the same sort of
people who
think
plural's take apostrophe's.

Go take your OCD medication, we're not interested.

Go take your illiteracy elsewhere, we're not interested.

Not my fault if you can't understand what everyone else can.

Not my fault if I **** on illiterates.

FACT: 99% of people do not put apostrophes at the end.

Where did you pull this 'fact' from?* Out of your rear end,
just
like
all your other 'facts'?

Only a computer program requires precision placing of
apostrophes.
The rest of us knew perfectly well what was meant.* Grow up.

Getting ahead in the modern world requires literacy.

Bull**** it does with that OCD ****.

Correct grammar is not OCD, you stupid ****ing convict.

Any unnecessary rules are OCD.

There are no unnecessary rules in grammar.* It is what it is.

"It is what it is" says it all - you're a robot that follow rules
without understanding.

What's there to understand?* The grammar is there, you learn it,
end of
****ing story.

No, you use the rules that make sense.* Intelligent people know
which rules are sensible.* "Rules are for the obedience of fools and
the guidance of wise men".

Intelligent people know that the rules of grammar, which have evolved
over MANY years, are a given and are sensible.* If everyone started
making up their own grammar rules, you'd end up without a ****ing
language.

You really haven't studied the English language and literature to any
great depth, have you?

I really have.* Have you?

Quite a lot. Why don't you study the history of the English language and
you would soon see how foolish your statement vis a vis the rules of
grammar (in English) really is.
