    The apostrophe, it’s almost worse than the government censorship police state!

      Pluralizing acronyms and decades with apostrophes is my biggest grammatical pet peeve.

      Apostrophes are for possession and contractions!! It’s “The 90s” or “The '90s,” not “The 90’s!”

      Wait until you see them pluralize ‘email’.

        I read it as a single sentence, as in the government can’t watch you wank if you’re using a VPN. Then I chucked in a Lionel Hutz reference.

        And this racing stripe here I feel is pretty sharp.

          This is where my english language comprehension skills show their limitation…

          Thanks for the explanation!

            Not to worry, it is awkwardly phrased, to be fair.

        Punctuation is key.

        It’s the difference between helping your friend, Jack, off a horse and, well, something worse.
