You make the assumption he's one of the few who puts the

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.


So Plural and his mates have stolen apostrophe's apostrophe?

It's certainly beginning to look that way.

Talking of it's. Explain to me, logically, not just "it's the rules",
why it's cannot be possessive. John's car. Fred's motorcycle. The
tree's leaves. It's doorhandle.

1. 'It' is a pronoun. The others are not. Using it's as the
possessive would be like using he's or him's instead of his.

It, John, car, cat, they are all nouns.

No, they are not. 'It' is a pronoun. Do you even know the ****ing
difference?

The point is I don't CARE about the ****ing difference. You really need
to get a life. Why should it have any less importance than cat or car?

The point is you're ****ing illiterate. It doesn't have less importance
than car or car, it's just different.

For no reason, just for the sake of your pointless rules.

Stop categorising stuff for no reason.

There's a valid reason for words to be categorised as nouns, verbs,
adjectives etc. It helps when teaching English to illiterates like you.

It delays teaching the important aspects of the language, by teaching
unimportant useless bull****. English is not mathematics, it doesn't
need pedantic rules.

The grammar IS the most important aspect of the language...it's what
keeps the language together!

We have 50 different languages throughout the world, all with 50 different dialects each. Get used to it, nobody follows your silly rules. I know people in Glasgow who say "that's been did" instead of "that's been done" - it means precisely the same thing, it doesn't matter which word is used. Did and done are both the past tense of do

2. For the intelligent and literate among us, it helps to identify the
stupid and illiterate.

It helps to identify those with a life. You really are a sad boring
little **** aren't you?

You really are a thick, pig ignorant, desperate little piece of ****,
aren't you? A total loser.

Because I don't waste my time following pointless regulations about the
usage of words?

They're far from pointless, you thick, pig ignorant, desperate little
piece of ****.

FFS go get a hobby.

Get a LIFE, you dumb ****.

I do, and it doesn't involve rules.
