I was just browsing the archives of the LifeTips blog and noticed a post by my predecessor, Raph, entitled, "The Rocket Science of English, Part 1: Making Words Plural and Possessive." The inclusion of the modifier, "Part 1," suggests that this post was intended to mark the beginning of a series; however, it looks like Raph never got around to Parts 2 through howevermanyhaveyou. So, for the sake of continuity (and because I'm a little bit obsessive [and by "a little bit," I mean suuuuper] and you can't, just can't, have a Part 1 without a Part 2 since the lack of a Part 2 makes the "Part 1" description unnecessary), I've decided to contribute the missing second installment.
Check back next week, as I tackle the ever-vexing issue of pronoun contractions versus possessive pronouns.
Get excited.
