Say what?

SAY WHAT?


Whoa there, hold your horses.

Are you telling me that a missing apostrophe catapulted Camel from plum last, tailed off, up to 11th place, right behind me?

And Dylan (according to your account of matters & stray apostrophes) actually OVERTAKES ME?

Even Tal Bloke goes from Zero to 8.4.

Because an APOSTROPHE WAS MISSING?

I'm not having that.

[tikay]

THIS IS RIGGED.

Who regulates this bullshit?

A missing apostrophe

[MereNovice]

Theres no doubt about it; its a clear mistake on my part.

It just goes to show how important grammar is.

Lovely semi-colon there Mere.

Creep.

No doubt a missing comma or exclamation mark will now be discovered & will catapult you into the lead.

I'll be honest with you - I'm not happy about this. Camel is going to be insufferable when he eventually climbs out of bed mid-afternoon.

[Karabiner]

This is one of the worst days of my life; I got up before eight am. to watch the golf and lo and behold no effing golf and no floundering Dustins or Jordans.

Don't forget the apostrophe, Ralph, makes all the difference apparently.

You appear to have missed that I deliberately omitted two apostrophes in my post.
I gave you an open goal and you managed to trip over without even kicking the ball.

Will that mean that Tighty, Jakally, Nico & Co will all, as if by magic, vault up the leaderboard in a revised update?

One can't help but muse.

Dustins and Jordans are plurals and adding apostrophes would be ridiculous.

Quite so.

I don't foresee anyone vaulting but I do predict a dramatic fall in your immediate future and the likelihood is increasing by the minute.
