    Did I say "pet peeve"? I meant "oh no, my pet peed". :(

    Anyway, I agree. I'm out. :)

    There is no 'proper' spelling for these words in any Western language because they are translated from an arabic script into English. As far as names like 'Catsup' or 'Ketchup' I'll suggest that you use something like 'dictionary.com' to see if something is considered 'real' or not.

    As far as the Rockets's Dressing Room, vs the Rockets' Dressing Room, because 'Rockets' is plural, according to Strunk and White, the proper form is "Rockets' Dressing Room". For something like the name Charles, where it ends in an s but is not plural, both forms are acceptable. In other words, use either "Charles's Dressing Room", or "Charles' Dressing Room".


    This has been today's grammar lesson.

    Thank You.

    I am not sure if you wanted to have an exclamation mark instead of " and I do not want to make an "official" accusation :). However, the " does not really make sense there...so...Behad...just wondering what you were trying to express. :)

    Unfortunately, you are not eligible.

    So, like CBFC, you are only averaging less than 1 post per day. Therefore, according to this rule, you are not eligible.

    I claim a tough shot on Band Geek Mobster for hyphenating "role-player" as a noun.
