A vulgar grammar review:

[Annie]

We all know where there is one brown, there are probably 14 more undocumented ones crammed into the house.

I don't like where this is going, let's rename them the White family.

do they eat a lot of crackers?

 

[Said1]

That was what I was getting at with the frenchmen.


Sort of.

Was this the wrong time for that kind of humor?

 

[manu1959]

why? what time is it?

Always, the ACLU Jim does not need. Nor Al S, nor Jesse.

 

[The ClayTaurus]

why? what time is it?

Apparently not the right one.

 

[The ClayTaurus]

Always, the ACLU Jim does not need. Nor Al S, nor Jesse.

My bad. Facetiousness doesn't translate well over forums...

 

[Said1]

Always, the ACLU Jim does not need. Nor Al S, nor Jesse.

Or the Jean-Guys.

 

[Annie]

Or the Jean-Guys.

I'm sure, whoever he is! :shocked:

 

[The ClayTaurus]

Did you guys ever think that getting the ACLU on Jim's ass was part of my demospy plan? I figured I'd just tell you now, since someone will figure it out sooner or later.

[Abbey Normal]

Lol!

 

[Annie]

Oh dear, you'll have to settle for

 

[Nienna]

maybe only one brown lives there

He's Irish, the head of the clan, so he calls himself "The Brown."

 

[Nienna]

But the name was Americanized. He used to be "The O'Brown." :note the appropriate use of the apostrophe here:

 

[dilloduck]

I figure he got it at a garage sale for 10 cents, doesn't really care what it says and hopes to God that people actually wipe their feet on it.

Another one I see all the time is this:

The Brown's

You'll see this on a porch sign or when people sign the family name to a greeting card.

The Brown's what?

"Brown's" is possessive; "Browns" is plural.

I'm in one of my finnicky SOB moods.

Guess I've been too jolly for too long for Xmas.

"Brown's" would be the correct form of the possessive
if and only if the subject was one and only one person
named "Brown".

If the subject is more than one "Brown", then the correct
form of the possessive is Browns'- with the apostrophe at
the end.
