Has the apostrophie slipped a little...?
As amazingly smoking hot as this is, it bugs me that there is no apostrophe in "boyfriends". It should be "boyfriend's".
Do you know what? I missed the missing apostrophe. Can't think why?
Not if all her boyfriends share a single wife. Polyandry is practiced in a few places such as traditional Tibetan communities.
@LifeoftheMind:If all her boyfriends shared a single wife, the apostrophe would simply shift past the s like so:boyfriends'You still need an apostrophe to for a possessive.
Lifeofmind,I'm just lookin' at the picture...not really all that worried about punctuation!! '(well...maybe a lateral : )
Not if all her boyfriends share a single wife.No, I'm sorry. That's incorrect. It would STILL require an apostrophe, but after the "s", not before:As in her boyfriends' wife.
laughing at the comments on where the apostrophe should be .. you men are just too damn picky
@missred: "... where the apostrophe should be"You women don't seem to understand. The issue is not where the apostrophe should be; it's that there needs to be one. It's very elementary grammar.
I see the apostrophe...there's 2 of them...just not aligned with the letters...!
