Unless the comma possesses something, it doesn't need the apostrophe folks! ;)<br /><br />Of course, we *could* say: "We are debating the comma's use," and be technically correct because it is modifying a noun.<br /><br />Interesting reading, thanks. <br /><br />J.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092603952139807812.post-58315968819792547652010-08-26T23:53:52.895-04:002010-08-26T23:53:52.895-04:00Hellooooooooo Katherine~
