How about dropping rec.radio.shortwave from the news group list.

Thanks in advance.

"The SWR with the apostrophe s is a grammatical error.
The apostrophe s indicates that the SWR is possessive,

PLURALS - When you add an 's' to make a plural,
it NEVER takes an apostrophe.
Never. There are no exceptions.

As much as I hate plurals formed with apostrophes, you're wrong.

3. Despite the absolute correctness of the apostrophe for the plural of
numbers and letters, I see a lot of acronyms and abbreviations made plural
by the addition of an "s" without the apostrophe and I don't flinch.

From what I remember, that's not universally incorrect.

Oh, and I'm taking your apostrophe quiz, and it appears there's an error
in the "correct" choice: (B) uses "its" as the contraction for "it is".
So the answer to 17 should be "None of the above". (I scored 100% also.)

Incidental note: I've never understood how people who use "it's" as a
possessive never even think to use "hi's" (though some use "her's" and
"their's").

I doubt it. The word Allah appears to be a conglomeration of "al elah",
meaning "the god".

A well educated friend told me that the Aramaic word
for "God" is "Allah". It would be nice to know if
he was wrong about that.

Aren't Yahweh, Jehovah, and Allah all the same God-head?

I know Clifto posted from rec.radio.shorwave but please drop the group

Yup, me too. I listen to "A Way With Words," a radio program on KPBS
(available streaming at kpbs.org) whose host is language writer Richard
Lederer ("Anguished English," "Get Thee To A Punnery," etc). Richard said
that "it's" for "its" (possessive) was considered correct until near the end
of the 19th century. I didn't know that.

That's as bad as using entitled. Michigan Tech voted that as one of
the 10 words that should be eliminated in one of their yearly
selections.
