Pardon me whilst I stab myself in the eyeballs with a fork.

The intended audience is somewhat dumber than our 5th-graders ;)

although...... I do like that better, especially since I changed the wording a little so that won't be as repetitive as it would have been..... thanks :)

B is right but I like fobbles idea of side stepping the whole issue.

I'm not too smart but I have made a many a banner.
I would err on the part of discretion and leave the apostrophe off.

I would go with fobble's idea too.

:3eye:

:3eye: HAGGIS :3eye:

No capital F? ugg yer slipping.

They don't look like they'd slip to me, but might be quite clumsy for side-stepping. ugg indeed :lol:



I did go with fobble ( :eek: :lol:) subject to teacher's "approval" -he admitted he assumed it was possessive.....

I removed the hyphen too, I'll probably get fired for that one ;)

Yeah, they'll take back your whole salary from the last year...

people do not understand possessives, I've come to understand. a terrible failing of our grammar instruction, although it doesn't seem that hard a concept to me . . .

I recently saw ugg boots with dunlop volley soles.

(and steel-cap volleys ... :eyebrow: they're originally tennis shoes!)

It's a title referring to several school teams who play a sport against teams from other schools. The teams are the people doing the fundraising the poster is about, so this appears in the "name" section of the headings.

Monster I found a rule for possessives.

Intra _ Mural Sports Teams is descriptive so there is no apostrophe. You were right.

I know you have changed your banner but I thought this an interesting rule page anyway.

Descriptive Phrases (weird!)

One of the strangest rules in the AP stylebook insists that certain things are not possessives (even though they look like possessives) but are "descriptive."

As such, they do not deserve apostrophes.

Such as it is, here's the logic behind the rule:

• students handbook
  • It's a handbook for students, not a handbook belonging to students

• teachers college, writers guide
  • The same twisted logic applies

Here are other examples from the stylebook. Notice the absence of apostrophes:

• citizens band radio
• a Cincinnati Reds infielder
