The Observer said:I have a question.....
Why is it that most people perceive male virgins as homosexuals? I was talking to some of my friends the a while back and they asked me if I had any "encounters" (wink wink) yet. I told them no and they started to question my sexuality. This greatly offended me and showed me just how obsessed our society is with sex. I'm in my early twenties (i wont say my actual age for privacy reasons) and some people find my sexual inexperience astonishing. I really don't understand why though, because I know that there are people who are much older than I am and are still virgins. It's almost as if society expects me to lie down with every woman that I meet because of my sex, but that's not me. I take sex seriously, not just for its risk of STD s and unplanned pregnancies, but also for the emotional aspect of it. I believe that when you have sex with someone you truly care for, your not just unifying your flesh, but also your souls. I refuse to have sex with someone that I truly don't care for. I know it may sound as if I am taking sex too seriously, but that is my position on it. Please share your thoughts.....

epic fale boy said:(anyone know what the plural of ho is? It shouldn't be apostrophised should it? Coz then how do you tell the difference between the plural and the singular possessive, and what the hell would the PLURAL possessive be? -ho's's-?! )

I was going to suggest that myself!
cheaptrickfan said:It would NEVER be "ho's," because the apostrophe is used to pluralize only in a very, very few cases. One of them is when you are pluralizing a lower-case letter or a zero as a noun and it would be confusing otherwise.
Example: "The long string of 0's and 1's made my eyes go buggy."

What about a string of numbers? Is it in the 1970s or in the 1970's.
epic fale boy said:I heard you don't have to add the genitive apostrophe for numeral plurals either... so 1s and 0s.
epic fale boy said:If an apostrophised ho' is an abbreviated whore, where would THAT leave us?
(Ho ho ho!)
epic fale boy said:oooh I did know that, but I had genitives on the brain... possessed by the apostrophe monster lol.

ThinkPositive said:Incorrect use of apostrophes is my biggest grammatical pet peeve. Not only is it annoying and makes sentences not make sense, it's ridiculously common! I once saw an its/it's issue at a *bookstore*. I got out my pen and corrected it.
