    Love you guys, but the teacher in me is almost over the edge with random apostrophes thrown in everywhere....very distracting when trying to read the message...it's like fingernails scraping on a chalk board....ahhhhh!

    plural = add s Titan becomes Titans
    possesive = add 's a player becomes a player's position
    plural possive = add s' Titan becomes Titans' coach
    ends in x = add es box becomes boxes
    Words that are not plural or plural possive do not need an apostrophe.

    Thanks for letting me vent!

    Baseball and English

    RBI's vs RBI ?
    Flyed vs Flew ?
    Is flyout one word or two?

    Sounds like the Titans have a lot of issues :)

    I just checked some of our post, we had a S on the end of Titan, so I feel better about the education our Titans are getting since a teacher wrote most of the articles.

    Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    Why is the Foul Pole in fair territory????

    And if a ball hits the Foul Pole, its called a Fair Ball!

    If the visiting team hits a Home Run, why isn't it called a Visitor Run???????

    Just something to think about!!!!!!!!:chair:

    Personally, I like commas. Whenever I have to hesitate or I have to catch my breath while posting, I just throw in a comma here and there...and voila...I have caught my breath. Viva La Commas!!!!
