Once again, the voice of Firearms Knit Pickery has surfaced.
In the May 2015 issue of Guns Magazine on page 6, "Cross Fire" (letters to the editor), Grammar Police portion, a letter writer responds to the "incorrect use" of 's. This ('s) is asserted as improper use, unless as the possessive of a noun or a contraction.
The editor retorts that adding "s" at the end of a noun sometimes leads to confusion, such as "K98ks" might mistakenly be taken to be a sub variant.
Using "K98k's" is more understandable and seemed the best path to take.
I know some are dead set on "proper grammar", but come on. Gimmie a break. Even on THR I've seen misspelled words and other egregious errors, but I can let it slide. I try to relax, enjoy, and larn sumpin'.
Can you ?
