Well said, though:

“Oh your in-vitro didn’t work, my friend had this same thing happen to her and you know what she took a vacation right away and it really cleared her head! Oh you had a miscarriage, I thought I had miscarried once but it was just spotting and everything was OK.”

Is just another symptom of the deeper…

TAP WATER: Flouride, Chlorine, ESTROGEN (from birth control) & a god-knows-what cocktail of everyone’s prescription meds they piss out.

None of which can be removed by the treatment plant, let alone by your Britta.

There’s also good research that shows cognitive training does little for brain health, which responds far more to physical exercise than anything else.

My references were The Chicago Manual of Style, and the top grammar sites returned in a Google search for “’s possessive.”

ALL of which agree with your M-W link. (as do I of course),

No, pretty sure you can refer to the family as a singular unit, w/out including the word “family,” which can get dropped/stay silent (Strunk & White may even consider that more concise/better English):

To which family sold this house? 

-The Laatch, sir.

And give it the singular possessive as in “the family’s”

Your answer is so fulla typos/mistakes, bad syntax, irrelevant shit & dumb wrong answers, I can’t tell if you’re a troll or on drugs.
Go back to your writing teacher and get embarrassed:

WHAT!?!?!? Sorry, but you’re the one who’s wrong, (you stunningly arrogant dumbass) and I’ll include some sources to back that up.

In no world, EVER, is an -ES used for possessive (ownership).

ONLY an apostrophe can indicate ownership, and if the noun is plural, it comes at the end:

NO! Fuck off! Cuttingboards!!!

NO! Fuck off! Cuttingboards!!!

That’s the best one imo.

The Jones family.

Dumb debate.

Yup. Just think: “The Laatch family’s” :)

BEAUTIFUL article. Wow. So well-said, thought, & written.
David Roth wins my internet for today & demonstrates hope for humankind.

SO WRONG. Here’s why:

-“I’m glad you appear to be functioning normally and your body is taking good care of itself; we’re all lucky to have whatever health we do & I hope you survive, neither for which the fact nor your fellow-citizen’s hope thereof are assured or go w/out saying.”

-“Thanks, it’s nice to know someone…

1. For “this property is the family’s (as a whole)” it’s “The Laatsch’s.”

2. For “this is where a buncha Laatch family members live” it’s
“The Laatches” (live here)

3. So for “this property is owned by multiple Laatches” it’s
“ The Laatches’ ”

Both 1 & 3 are correct but 1 is technically better, b/c it’s not actually owned…

Uh, multiple bags on seats IS just as bad as manspreading.
Why the discrimination??

Nope. A hard Irish-out is rude AF.

But the human eye sees in “local contrast”, so even if projected against a white wall, you’ll see unlit areas as “black.”

Or, that’s why to watch in a dark room/at night.

But the human eye sees in “local contrast”, so even if projected against a white wall, you’ll see unlit areas as…

Actually as a diabetic that’s a significant concern, moderation or not.

Anyone prediabetic (probably about 20-30% of you, unwittingly) should be wary too unless you burn it off immediately w regular exercise.

I love everything about this article.

PANCAKES!!! PANCAKES!!!

Hey, win-win is win-win.
