Attention grammar nazi?s

Aren?t we supposed to say, first, second, third, rather than firstly, secondly, and thirdly?

 

[quakefiend420]

i never say firstly, secondly, or thirdly anyway

 

[maziwanka]

no

 

[JulesMaximus]

Correctly.

"nazi?s" - This is incorrect usage of the apostrophe.

I believe that either is acceptable, but why use firstly when first says exactly the same thing without the extra two letters?

Why use a large word when a dimunitive one will suffice?

 

[GasX]

"firstly" is pretension for stupid people.

 

[StageLeft]

Says the man who uses 'dimunitive' rather than 'small'.

I don't think either way is correct.
I believe only the first way is correct.

That is the Nazi's gun. He wont like you messing with it.

There sure are a lot of Nazis here.

Apostrophe before an s generally shows ownership with nouns. It's just a personal pet peeve of mine. Incorrect usage of the apostrophe is so common it's sickening. There's no "room's for rent." There's no grammar nazi's.

Nazis = Plural of Nazi

Nazi's = Implies that something is of or belonging to a Nazi (e.g. "Check out that Grammar Nazi's spelling error)

So, we can finally stop adding "ly" to the words first, second, and third.

Now, can we figure out if it is nazi's or nazis?

Plurals of acronyms don't require an apostrophe, unless the s could be confused as being part of the acronym itself.

For example: multiple Runabout Sport Xtremes = RSX's so as not to be confused with the RSX Type-S

.·. Nazis :thumbsup:

[Edit] That's not a thumbs up for Nazis, just saying that "Nazis" is the correct form

 

[jjones]

Firstly, I would like to say this is a stupid thread.

Two, everyone should know these things.

C - I'm hungry.

Apt Pupil is an awesome movie whose TV commercial had an awesome line used as a sample by Wumpscut in the song "Praise Your Fears"

"If you don't believe in the existance of evil, you have a lot to learn"

:thumbsup:

Also, that song will let you know if your sub pwnz or not.
