Grammar Thread
TheOsakaKoneko replied to n0Mad's topic in Movies, Books, Art, TV, Gaming and Computers
Yes. Or rather, it would be "We are waiting for the supplier, ABC's, analysis" ... which leads to the same question. If you use a comma there, though, you need 2 of them. Better would be "We are waiting for the supplier ABC's analysis," but this still seems strange. Much the same as in the sentence "I went with Jane, my half-brother's cousin, to the movies." You can't say "I went with Jane, my half-brother's cousin to the movies." You have to have 2 or 0 commas in this kind of case. But changing it from parentheses to commas is just rewording the sentence. There are a million ways to reword the sentence to eliminate the need for the possessive (such as "We are waiting for the analysis from our supplier, ABC.") but I'm looking for what the right way to do it would be in the case where the sentence is not reworded. -

Yeah, I'm often tempted by that usage, but if you say it out loud, it sounds weird. Like "ABC" is the type of analysis, not the name of the company. Sirry foleignaa tlying to speak ouwaa ranguage. (That took WAY too much effort!) -

Here I am, admitting I don't know something and asking for advice! XD I have a question about using parentheses and possessive together in a sentence. In the sentence, for example, "We are waiting for the supplier's (ABC's) analysis," where does the possessive go? Like I have it here, on both? Or, "We are waiting for the supplier's (ABC) analysis"? Or "We are waiting for the supplier (ABC's) analysis"? I have never known what to do in this case! I usually use the first, but it just seems weird... Please don't say "reword the sentence" because while this is the obvious solution, and what I generally do, there MUST be an accepted real answer, which is what I am curious about! Anyone know? -
Hahaha after looking it seems it's not until really late late summer so I don't have any plans yet! So hopefully when it is made I will be free! My latest set schedule is the week before it starts so I should be good! hahahaha..... Um...yeah. I should make an outfit for this....if only I can find time...

You got banned? What the heck did you DO Rev???? D: OT but I still need an extra ticket if anyone has.... -
Some stuff on here might be good: http://detroit.donyell.net/index.php/2009-events/july/ As much as you don't want to go to Detroit, I think the DIA is worth the trip. And the Science Center as well. I second the Greenfield Village/Henry Ford Museum suggestions. Also how about a Tigers game? Can't get much more American than that! When will they be here in July? If they are here for the 4th you ought to be able to find some killer events, including fireworks! Again, can't get much more American! XD

It would be fun to go with everyone on the same day. I hope I can make it! Don't schedule it for any of the big summer concert days!!

Things yo mamma
TheOsakaKoneko replied to Homicidalheathen's topic in Relationships, Pets & Domestic Homelife
Hahahahaha...hehehehe....heheh..heh......heh... I don't think I'd be very interesting here, I'm too much of a good girl... And the things I *have* done, my mother would never have thought to tell me not to... -
Article online This is a good friend of mine's family. The 21 year old mentioned is my friend. She is a sweet caring girl, and is broken up about her brother, who she loved more than anything in the world. It's horrible to think about how much bad stuff can happen to you in just the course of a couple days. We should all be grateful for what we have.
