Scuffers you use the word "Reality" which is something that does not exist as we all see the world through our own lens's our previous experiences values and constructs are all different.

As I see it there are three camps, those that would like lotus to fold.........Glass empty and may have no passion or sole for the brand, those with their glass half empty who have passion and sole for the brand but fail to see how they can continue. Then there are those who's glass's are half full also have passion and sole for the brand, the believers and I am not suggesting they are blind believers but do trust that good will come out of any restructuring.

Therefore a different "Reality's" exists not just one

So is your glass half empty and what would it take to make it half full ;-)

Altogether, now - "Ezer bad, Ezer bad, 'e's Ebenezer Bad".

I'm picturing him sitting there in front of his 60" plasma, wearing his smoking jacket with a glass of brandy as he writes that utter drivel, all proud that he's done well for himself despite leaving school at nine.

"No qualifications, me, all this were brought wiff plenty a graft."

I know this thread is about apostrophes, but I get just as furious about sentences like the following:

An ellipsis is three full stops. Any more than three makes you seem a dunce. Furthermore, he isn't even using it as an ellipsis, he's using it as a fking semicolon.

Ellipses are dreadfully overused on PH. I think some posters have the impression that that is how you are supposed to end sentences...

What about when a business person comes back from a long distance flight then has to drive home from the airport.

Who's responsibility is it then?
