Louis: I don't think Malecki has ever heard the word "apostrophe" before. That word along with "Irgun", "comma" and a whole bunch of others don't exist for him. His vocabulary revolves around words like "proletarian", "revolutionary" and "Bolshevik". Of course, he cheapens them by overusing them in the unkowing manner that he does. This guy should lay off the Internet for a while and go back and work on a grammar school education. Maybe we should all pitch in and give the meathead a head-start. Example of apostrophe: --> Malecki's sectarianism is extreme. --------------------- (This means "the sectarianism of Malecki." The apostrophe (') is coupled with the double-quote key (") on a computer keyboard. Example of comma: --> Malecki, who has a cauliflower in his skull rather ---------------- than a brain, should find the Wizard of Oz in order to get a brain. (The comma is used to separate a subclause. It is found on the same key as the less-than sign "<".) On Mon, 24 Jun 1996, Doug Henwood wrote: > > No it's not, Malecki.
