Amateurs (plural, and NO apostrophe) frequently attempt to argue the incorrect to be correct, and so look imbecilic. In this instance, one anonymous fellow--maybe a radio amateur and maybe not--has attempted to do what you describe. I wouldn't call him an imbecile, just unschooled. Part of the new amateur policy should be to attempt to correct this image. The image of the unwashed, illiterate ham needs to go ... I tire of the smirks-behind-the-back given by professionals. I don't know that there is such an image. You could do your part to better things though. You might use the internet to undergo a crash course in the use of the apostrophe. Dave K8MN |
