Cover girl ad's on anandtech

[renz20003]

WTF is up with that or am I the only one?

 

[CraKaJaX]

Zero ads here.

Same. People still see ads here?

 

[Krazy4Real]

sorry... don't see ads

I get ladies fashion ads -- some of the lady models are hot. And some Greek yogurt.

You really should install an ad blocker in your browser. I know they need to pay bills, but my god it's depressing how intrusive/distracting ads have become here. 🙁 Nevermind how slow pages load and how clunky they make navigating. 😡

Very strange, usually it's tech sites like newegg for me.

Since they can't seem to figure out how to layout the page with ads without shifting it down I use an adblocker.

's doesn't make a plural. Never has. Never will.

Your posts are pretty effeminate, I thought you were a woman too. 😛

 

[Newbian]

Wait... does that mean woman use the internet also? 😱

What exactly are the do's and don'ts of apostrophes?

An apostrophe implies ownership, not multiples.

What exactly are the do's and don'ts of apostrophes?

I'm not sure but I use ellipses for everything...I know comma's are just there and not actually a rule...

Can't tell if serious.

Shows possession -- dog's bone; ad's duration; lightning's unpredictability; lambs' silence

Or indicates missing letter(s) -- don't = do not; can't = cannot; floor's = floor is, he's = he is, won't = will not; they'd = they would; 'tisn't = It is not

It's kind of a joke but 's CAN be used to indicate possession with a word like "do" that is not normally a noun. Like most things in the English language, the rule has exceptions. Thus the question "what exactly are the do's and don'ts of apostrophes".

We Woo We Woo We Woo.... GrammR police just showed up.

 

[shortylickens]

Its funny to think they will not only find women here, but women who wear name-brand makeup.

I seem to have an ad blockage. Hmmmm.

I had a feeling. Well I Bing-ed it just now, and found this to be a source of conflict.
AFAIC, fake contraction (do's) is fake, and is not exceptional ... whether it aids comprehension or no.
If I have serious concerns about confusion, I'd just capitalize -- DOs & DON'Ts. Of course capitalizing could indicate an acronym like PCs or CDs, but acronyms don't have apostrophes, so should be safe.

The ads usually reflect your browsing history.

You must have been cruising teen mag sites you perv

At least it was mildly related to the forum:
