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 "<".)
