Including sexual thoughts I'm sure. He must have had multiple erections while on the Pulpit.

I thin he was a baby in Christ then cuz I know now that no real man of God can perish.

There is nobody who has ever flown that never had fears at one time....Once i seat in that casket called plane...i confess my sins, incase i find myself on the otherside.

maestroferddi:
Don't you think it is rash to make a sweeping generalisation about The Daily Mail just because of an ill-conceived article?

I am an avid reader of the paper and to me they are among the best in the world.

If na oyibo tell black man to "go back to your cave". You go begin shout. Say na racism.
Our attitude shows we are wild, mad africans that stumbled on civilisation. That's why the whites have no respect for us. Go around the streets of Lagos, before you drive 5mins you are guaranteed to see one savage event or the other . And you wonder who is deceiving who.

WombRaiders:
You are a muslim and you hate the mail because unlike other liberal multi cultural news outfits the mail is not afraid to bring the atrocities of ISIS to its viewers

I know you like the NewYork times because they are the only paper claiming just like obama that terrorist acts have nothing to do with islam

WombRaiders:
OP considers dailyy mail to be ultra right wing because they are the only western media outlet that reports on ISIS rampaging menace.

Trying to use factual history as an excuse of being rascit in order to get Africans to dump the mail won't work.

Taqiyya harder because you aint fooling no one but yourself

cramjones:
Respects to Baba. Oh those days when we had a true commander-in-chief. Baba, my boss, my political godfather, I salute you sir. Though not perfect but you truly have Nigeria at heart. Respect sir, I present cephalic!

PS: Atiku and baba earlier today

jasper7:
I have read that article and dailymail just shared a piece of history. Not as if they were saying fiction. The thing the african folk always fail to understand is we can never be like the whites. We cannot be better than them cos we try everything within our power to be like them. We have forgotten ourselves, our tradition and culture is lost in the chaos of the mad african. We have to be ourselves to be the best. Shikena!

'I have come to take you home, where the ancient mountains shout your name.

I have made your bed at the foot of the hill, your blankets are covered in buchu and mint, the proteas stand in yellow and white – I have come to take you home where I will sing for you for you have brought me peace,’

This is a limitation of trying to write English correctly in programming languages so as to cater for every eventuality.

Some programmers put the plural, 's' in bracket to take care of the numbers.

MadCow1:
Still doesn't mean I am wrong about the subject matter of the thread though..

MadCow1:
Accepted...

MadCow1:
Attributive what? Noun, Adjective or what?

**modified**

So am I wrong?

MadCow1:
I honestly feel like we have deviated from the subject of this thread in a way.. Reason being that the example given by the OP deals with possessive nouns and how the placement of an apostrophe changes a possessive noun from singular to plural form. However, I will indulge your new challenge for academic reasons;

Your sentence contains two key words... 'Everybody' and 'Their'..

Everybody - Indefinite pronoun. ALWAYS singular. That's why you use 'is' after it and not 'are'. And we all know a pronoun is used in place of a noun..
[size=23pt]
Their - possessive adjective. Used to show possession.[/size] And you know that adjectives are used to qualify nouns.. And an adjective MUST always be used before a noun which in the case of your example is the word 'safety' and their safety is what 'everybody' (singular) which is the same as 'everyone' is possessing.


So putting them together, you example means; Each person is responsible for his/her own safety.






I am feeling darn good about this answer..

Sorry you are wrong. The intention is always to avoid liability on individual car basis. It has never been a group coverage. Let me ask you a simple logical question. If your car alone was parked at a lot on a given day and it got stolen, with your interpretation, will the company be liable? I think No. Reason being there must be at least one more car to make your definition work. I hope i have not confused you in anyway. If i did, please be assured it was not intended.

Another example...director's.....single director

Directors'....as a group or a board.

Cheers.

This penchant for attributing to God's intention the outcome of human machinations is irritating. Did you also use this illogic of divine destiny when Northern military leaders ran Nigeria?

AndreRose:
Yes Mr madcowm I now undstnd it. Tnx anyway.

MadCow1:
"The" in English language is known as 'definite article' and serves to specify a noun which in the case of the example I gave was 'the books'.

Example: 'The Girl..' (meaning the speaker and listener both know who she is'

My apostrophe positioning (before of after the plural noun) in my example serves to quantify (singular or plural) the ' possessive noun' which is; Boy.




I hope it's clearer ...

MadCow1:
Owners' that is the correst form..



1. The Boy's Books are on the Table.. (One Boy)
2. The Boys' books are on the table... (Many Boys)
