He said 'White Man'..

Why are you asking about Brown and Yellow people.

AndreRose:
Your correct. See Evidence...

abdulwastecx:
No such thing as white, yellow or Brown people. You are either pale, very pale or dark, very dark...

Spicylate:
what you are saying is that: cars are parked at owner is risk. which is wrong. i think it should be the latter

MadCow1:
Nope....

Three classes of people;


White... Caucasin
Black... Africans/Niggas
Yellow.. Asians & Middle East.

abdulwastecx:
Racial classification has no scientific bases, it is a political tool for west to show superiority btw humans are not classify has stateted above.

Human racially classify into
1. Niggriod... inhabitants of sub-sahara Africa and their offspring in western World.

2. Caucasian....Native of Europe, middle east, North Africa, North America, Australia, New zealand, central Asia ( Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, india). etc

3.Mongolite. .. South east Asians ( Japan, Korea, china, Vietnam, thailand, Philippine etc), asia pacific ( Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore etc), Original inhabitants of North and south America ( colloquially refers to as ' red Indians' ).

4. Australoid.... original inhabitants of places like Austrilia ( called aboriginal), Newzealand, Papua new guinea, indonesia, Southern India.

But all these are political defination of human based on physical apearance

[b]Apostrophes with Words Ending in s
While normal people wonder about apostrophes in general, believe it or not, word nerds have heated arguments over whether to use an additional s with singular possession.

Rule 1: Many common nouns end in the letter s (lens, cactus, bus, etc.). So do a lot of proper nouns (Mr. Jones, Texas, Christmas). There are conflicting policies and theories about how to show possession when writing such nouns. There is no right answer; the best advice is to choose a formula and stay consistent.
Some writers and editors add ‘s to every proper noun, be it Hastings’s or Jones’s. And there are a few who add only an apostrophe to all nouns ending in s—however, this method is relatively rare, and not recommended here.
One method, common in newspapers and magazines, is to add an apostrophe plus s (-’s) to common nouns ending in s, but only a stand-alone apostrophe to proper nouns ending in s.

Examples:
the class’s hours
Mr. Jones’ golf clubs
The canvas’s size
Texas’ weather

Another widely used technique is to write the word as we would speak it. For example, since most people saying, “Mr. Hastings’ pen” would not pronounce an added s, we would write Mr. Hastings’ pen with no added s. But most people would pronounce an added s in “Jones’s,” so we’d write it as we say it: Mr. Jones’s golf clubs. This method explains the punctuation of for goodness’ sake.

Rule 2: To show plural possession of a word ending in an s or s sound, form the plural first; then immediately use the apostrophe.

Examples:
the classes’ hours
the Joneses’ car
guys’ night out
two actresses’ roles

bukie26:
Nt to be rude but this doesn't make sense to me because even pronouncin(jones' car alone seem like jones car xo y ryt it dz way jones's car) also, class's hours is wrong..its class hours. Same goes for canvas's size..its canvas size..daz wt I believe..dose rules, where did u get it frm..can u recommend d buk?

brainpower:
I think its cars are parked at owners' risk. Cos since the cars is plural then the owners should be plural with the mark after the letter s. But if the statement was "car parked at owner's risk" then you can put the letter s after the mark.

melotreaah:
No dear.... don't get it wrong ok. For example you own a bag, and if i should come and found your bag on the floor and i asked who owns this bag; reply: Its spicylate's bag. #shikena. Same thing applied to <owner's risk>.

Mustay:
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.

Timijo:
Which is correct?
Cars are parked at owner's risk or cars are parked at owners' risk.
Please state your reason(s)
