****ing hell.

He needs to learn to say "no".

****ing hell.

He needs to learn to say "no".

In fairness he's probably stuck for a few quid due to wages not being paid

[Fosterbloke]

He just can't catch a break.

[Yozza]

He just can't catch a break.

Not much else either....

That's never, ever been acceptable. It's a plural!

Well now. Not to open old wounds, but if it were solely plural you'd be correct; however in this case the apostrophe is possessive. '20s would be incorrect also, because its used to shorten from something else. Ie '90s from 1990s

Except it wasn't possessive. And if it was, it would have to be 20s'

I.e. It belongs to the 20s (plural).

The only way 20's works is if it belongs to 20 - the singular.

It's

Also, if it were possessive and referring to entire decade rather than just the specific year, it would be 90s' not 90's.

"Remembering 90's scorching summer" vs "remembering the 90s' scorching summers" innit?

Ohhhh. What have we done? Better than talking about Karius, I suppose :|

Why wasn't it possessive?

I don't think you're right, but the 17 seconds I spent searching didn't yield anything to support the argument either way

This is right, but Buzzo was referring to his 20s, not a decade! Which I think renders the apostrophe correct? Because it's HIS years 20 to 30, no?

English Language was an awful long time ago

It's

That was obviously going to happen

Decade of calendar years vs decade of life makes no odds really.

His twenties are both his and plurals - it's ten years of life each year beginning with a twenty. So a possessive form should have the apostrophe after the pluralising s. (Is pluralising a word lol?)

Also, my books are mine but if I refer to my books I don't always use the possessive unless I'm trying to express something the BOOKS possess. My books are great. My books' characters are great. People tend not to use that sort of construction though. Saying something like 'the characters in my books are great' reads much better.

WTF. I had no idea I started this. Be about right though if it's a typo. Or bad grammar (ization)
