Ancient LJ catchup, #1
Jun. 25th, 2005 12:48 pmThis one is for
kriski, in response to a comment she left on my journal ages ago, in regards to crossover between languages. I know I'm horribly behind (sorry about that, Kriski!), but I wanted to bring this one on ahead and answer it, since it has to do with language stuff and that's always interesting to me as a writer. Even if I'm lame about keeping up with my LJ comments sometimes. ;P :)
( Kriski's comment... )
Just wanted to remark on this, Kriski, that improperly used apostrophes are one of my biggest pet peeves in English, too, so I'm very sympathetic to you having that peeve for German usage! Every single time I see someone say "that isn't your's" or "it's tail wagged", for example, that grates on my eyes the same way an out-of-tune note grates on my ears.

watermelonpunch, from whom I have several pending comments. This one is from this thread, in which I'd been ranting against the legislation that a man in Alabama wanted to get passed about banning books with gay characters in them from public libraries down there.
