Ocelot did it first
Honestly, I like everyone on here most of the time. Slatanictrash hasn't trolled too much lately so its all good bro!

Gauge his eyes out with the apostrophe missing from his topic title...
Fuckin critic
Can anyone no make a mistake here anymair????
I hate punctuation, it so confusing, I wished I could speak Gaelic and I wouldn't have to worry about those cumbersome apostrophe's
Oh BTW you missed the Y when you were trying to type the word THEY
Okay, here's quick guide that might just save your life. Diddy, you should also pay attention to this:
THE APOSTROPHE
Use an apostrophe when contracting two words into one shorter word:
e.g. "Let's kill Slatanicthrash" (The apostrophe here stands for the missing "u" in "Let us").
"It's vital that we destroy Slatanicthrash" (The apostrophe here stands for the missing "i" in "it is").
Also, we have the possessive apostrophe:
e.g. "Slatanicthrash's eyes must be gauged out" (here it signifies that the eyes belong to Slatanicthrash).
The position of the apostrophe changes to the end of the word if you are signalling that something belongs to more than one person:
e.g. "The boy's eyes were gauged out" (If the eyes belong to one boy)
"The boys' eyes were gauged out (If the eyes of multiple boys have been gauged out)
This is also an example demonstrating how the meaning of a sentence can be changed simply by moving or omitting the apostrophe, and thus precisely why such a tiny little dash is important.
NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER use an apostrophe when pluralising anything. "Culture Club have awesome song's" is wrong on every single level. This rule is still true when the word ends with a vowel, e.g. "rare demo's" is still wrong.
Also "1980's" and "1990's" do NOT require an apostrophe, though I gather the Americans have a different opinion on this.
My apologies, and I know I'm fighting a losing battle and look like a pedantic oaf but I'm fed up with the internet shitting all over my eyes.

I always wished that I could speak Gaelic.
Wow

You can sing in Gaelic if you want, just check out a great Scottish band called Runrig
They were one of my favourite bands in the early 90's, Runrig were massive at this point till Donnie Munro left the band to become a politicitan, Runrig are still performing today but not to the same crowds in their heyday
