A moderately irritating feature of the iPhone's otherwise excellent spell check on entry capabilities is that it insists on adding an apostrophe between it and s regardless of the context. I can only apologise for having missed this one (and for the fat fingers hitting the 9 instead of the 0).jdaw1 wrote:Cool scoring system.[url=http://www.theportforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=34163#p34163]Here[/url] AHB wrote:Very impressive and still years from it's peak. 94/199.

Ah yes, now that you have mentioned it I can see that. However there is now a slight abiguity as to which space agency's chief has been fired. Russia's? Or since this was a BBC article, perhaps Great Britain's?jdaw1 wrote:I prefer the definite article. There was a light ambiguity about whether the chief belonged to the President, to Russia, or, more plausibly, to Putin.

I do not see the failure to pluralise. I would say ‟A and B’s birthday is tomorrow; they are twins” not ‟A and B’s birthdays are tomorrow...”. And, as is well known, the coincidence of two or people sharing the same birthday is more regular than is often expected. I concede the wisdom point, though.jdaw1 wrote:Mis-spelling, and failure to pluralise, and the unwise coincidence of their birthdays being the same.
