Oh, no. Ohhh, no, no, no...
That ain't cuttin' it, Mr. Bowmann. (You see, we Yanks aren't the only ones who don't "get it"... Brits are as guilty as we are.)
I fail to see how any supposed "subtleties" of "the apostrophe becomes acceptable" "since typo is an abbreviation" makes your case.
As I said in my reply, abbreviations do NOT ...[text shortened]... ou are at the very least incorrect. The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.

Ok, I think I might see what you are claiming. Ok, I meant "declaring", I admit that (sheesh). But this is just typical Bowmann, posting something with two meanings and when confronted by the mistake, laying claim to the other meaning.
I see that what you are saying you meant is that his use of the word "typo's", " since "typo" is an abbreviation for "typographical error" ", IS a typo...
Nice bailout. Do you always post in these forums wearing a parachute?

Originally posted by Moldy CrowNo, not always. For example, while Ph.D. often is written with periods, and therefore DOES require an apostrophe when pluralized (Ph.D.'s), common usage is becoming to write it without periods, and in that case, does NOT require the apostrophe when pluralized (PhDs).
Besides which , isn't a proper abbreviation supposed to have a period ? How did you miss that , Mr. Bowmann ?

As a result, unless your maths teacher closely resembles a pasty pile of lard with beady weasel eyes, you're probably safe.
There's a maths teacher at school with the surname "Bouwman". Am I beeing stalked?

Why can't you just admit you're wrong. And move on...
(Goddammit, you piss me off, Mr. Bowmann...)
I am still right, and what you typed is STILL incorrect, no matter how far you had your tongue in cheek (as you claim)...
Final answer!!
