Athletic's Website

[quote KeithK][quote bandrews37]So you're reading their website and it's not costing you a dime to do so. They could always add that under "no-Access" and make you pay for it. Under that pretense, I'm all for pop-ups.[/quote]You would have a good point if there were no other source for Cornell hockey information than the official website.  Fortunately you can follow the team very well online without ever going to their crappy site.  Thus the pop-ups are bitch-worthy.[/quote]

Actually, he still doesn't have a good point.  Advertising is annoying but understandable; pop-ups are *always* bitch-worthy.  Punkt.

...but still not full price.

[quote KeithK]What Cornell did you go to?  While I agree that it's pathetic, it seems perfectly consistent with the school I attended...

(Aside: I love Cornell.  I just think the folks that run it are often cheap and pathetic.)[/quote]

The Cornell I went to was a land development scheme masquerading as a university to get tax breaks.

I loved the faculty, students, campus and mind-altering experience of Cornell.  The Trustees and their policy minions were, are, and always shall be just another circle jerk of dimwitted, speculating, silver spoon assholes.

Yes, but shouldn't the apostrophe in this thread title be after the "s?"

Yes, followed by another s.

I take back everything bad I've ever said about you. ;-)

Oh, you're one of those?  Tisk tisk.  :-P

...whose possessives make sense?  Why, yes, I am.  :-D

Well, suit yourself.  Personally, I like my possessives like I like my women:  apostrophe-s or s-apostrophe, but never s-apostrophe-s;  and irregular in the case of pronominals.

[Beeeej]

It's just never made the slightest bit of sense to me to say, "Okay, it's apostrophe-s if it's a singular, and s-apostrophe if it's a plural, but if it's a singular or collective or proper that ends in s, go ahead and spell it s-apostrophe even though it's not plural and even though you pronounce it like it's s-apostrophe-s."  Plus, even those who use s-apostrophe for some singulars, collectives, and propers don't use it for others; there's often no consistency, just "whatever feels right at the time."

The Chicago Manual of Style's rule amuses me - they agree with me except when the proper is Jesus or Moses, then it's just s-apostrophe.   ::laugh::

I like my women like I like my coffee; saturated with Irish whiskey and topped with whipped cream.

Wow, this thread sucks.

Pretty much my point, but I said it without actually saying it.

AP style distinguishes between voiced and unvoiced final Ss.

That's the policy I've always followed. Either is correct. But I think we can all agree that what's in the subject name isn't correct for any form of written English.
