THL

but they all fall into herpetology - which I love!!

you are correct - My minor was English in college (i wanted something to fall back on, in case my major did not pan out - wouldnt you know i did not follow either). while i dont use proper punctuation here on the board (it is far easier to type dont instead of don't with that pesky apostrophe).

so many people use that apostophe because it is hard to remember when and when not to use it, but it is not used with possessive pronouns such as his, her, my, yours, or its. it is only used with the word "it" when that word is being used as a contraction instead of "it is".

you know what else gets to me about the apostophe - that people do not use it correctly to make a singular word plural if that word ends in an "s". example: "look at those horses' hooves" requires an apostophe after the "s" but many people leave it off.

*sigh*
