Punctuation mistakes you DON'T want to make
 
If you've been recently released from prison, it's OK to say:

"It's kinda sad leaving my inmates behind."

What you DON'T want to say is:

"It's kinda sad leaving my inmate's behind".

Any others come to mind?

"lets eat grandma." instead of "lets eat, Grandma."

"It's kinda sad leaving my inmate's benind".

Not sure I want to know what an inmate's "benind" is.
;) :D

My neighbors are cannibals and I heard them say the former...but only twice. :)

I have great respect for flowering breadmakers as well as crusty, seasoned bakers and I refuse to participate in their derision by laughing at the "humor" of half baked video commedians who have nothing more worthwhile to do with their sadly unleavened lives than to loaf around the innerweb baking up such stale crap.

I don't knead that in my life.

Since the topic of this thread is punctuation ... "Let's" is the word you want. It's a contraction of let us.

OMG, Lettuce eating Grandma

Lettuce prey for those leaving their inmates behind.

DARISC 11-29-2010 07:16 PM

Lettuce spray, said the pest control team leader.

But we're spraying tomatos, said the team.

Easy enough to find on the innerwebs - all kinds.

therapist.com for example.

You are very lucky as the Cdr could reconvene the mast, pull from the record and all you could have done was refuse and go to courts martial. You can change the admin record, not the criminal one. But seems that everything turned out GREAT.

one has 72 hrs to appeal the article..
I did not..
so JAG didn't review it until afterwards..
guy giving it was my Temp Cdr.
real Cdr would not have done anything..
other than chew my a$$ good..
alot folks looked at it..
but it was so easy to overlook..
I did..walked out thinking 'its over'
PLT Leader just smiled ...
he caught it ..
be quiet and lets go..
once out of country..
real Cdr checked with JAG..
yes..its a suspended bust..
