Title: Now chocolate cake is going to kill us
Post by: WLJ on June 12, 2019, 11:53:40 AM
Is nothing safe?
Guess chocolate cakes will start coming with a California Proposition 65 warning now

Terrible article and study.

Chocolate cake is made from numerous ingredients.  Which ingredient carries the PFAS?

The study also says bottled water has PFAS, as does nearly everything else we eat.

The sugar and processed flour in chocolate cake is more likely to kill you.

About as useful as those studies that say that aspertame turns into formaldehyde in the body... which it does.

But doesn't mention that eating a ripe apple exposes you to several times the amount of formaldehyde, which is a naturally occurring substance in many foods.

Why does an apostrophe make people panic?

Why don't the Masters of the Universe just quit beating around the bush and announce that everything is toxic and will kill you.  That way we can shake our heads, sigh, and then go about our business. :old:

Why does an apostrophe make people panic?

Because so many people use it before the "s" when making common nouns (or should I type noun's) plural. I see that so much on the Internet that my finger's [sic] are beginning to do it of their own volition, and I sometimes have to catch myself. It seems that many people believe that any word ending in "s" must have the "s" preceded by an apostrophe.

Die because the chocolate cake monster ate you or die because you ate the chocolate cake monster?

I would think the second option to be more fun.

Nice rant, but the photo shows a semicolon, not an apostrophe.

It's sometimes handy to have an apostrophe (correctly used) to indicate some state of affairs with precision.

It irks me to see it misused; one of my correspondents uses it for almost everything and he's educated enough to know better.

 The irk factor isn't as intense as seeing a finger on the trigger  unnecessarily, or a magazine with cartridges loaded backwards, or calling a cartridge a bullet, but it's there, if you see what I mean.

On the other hand, one apostrophe rule I hate is the one about its being its own possessive and not needing an apostrophe. I don't know how that came about, but I don't know how "GH" came to be pronounced "F," either.

As an example, compare:

"The car's engine was running." (correct)
to
"Its engine was running." (correct)

whereas "It's engine is running" is incorrect.

Go figure.

I'm not sure how many languages don't use an apostrophe our way, though.

I believe it's just because we need to be able to tell the difference between "it's" (the contraction) and "its" the possessive.
