Rob Ford's Toronto

Torontonian's what?

Greengrocers' Apostrophes

Apostrophes that are used incorrectly to form plural words are known as “greengrocers' apostrophes.” This problem and incorrect usage actually appears to stem from the identical sound of the possessive and the plural form of most nouns used in the English language.

As an interesting aside, it is believed that the term greengrocers' apostrophes was coined in the mid-twentieth century by a teacher in Liverpool, England. The incorrect use of the apostrophe to make words plural apparently was common on the advertisement signs of greengrocers in the United Kingdom and elsewhere:


“Orange's on sale – cheap!”

My guess is the new info will be that Rob was boffing Elena in exchange for crack. If I remember correctly Basso stated that Rob and his sister kept him up all night whenever he was there.

Torontonian's what?

I think he's using "out" as a noun.

http://i.word.com/idictionary/out "a way of escaping from an embarrassing or difficult situation"

Or, it's just another bonehead typo.

Then, what is this: "to help Torontonian's with their stress and frustration"?

Uhh, evvabeing posted the Indiegogo campaign, not me. I just pointed out the typos in the introductory paragraph of that campaign.

LOL!!

I have at least 2 problems with the above:

1. That anyone would covet Rob Ford's "hot bod" to give up some crack for a "crack" at it?
2. That Rob Ford, in his physical condition, is good for 15 minutes, much less ALL NIGHT!!

Thanks! I didn't need the explanation, though I should have realised that my post might be misinterpreted.

To get a sense of how I intended it, imagine me pointing to "Torontonian's" and saying "Torontonian's what?".

OK, I have finished my dissection of my frog...

If Rob Ford is offended by political correctness, then he should not be offended when people call him "Jabba."

Developmentally, he doesn't even seem to be a kindergarten level.

1. I assumed the original post was hastily written and that the names Rob/Elena should be switched around in that, er, transaction. It certainly makes more sense that way.
2. 15 minutes?! That's very generous of you. I'd put him in the 30-60 second range.

This was my first thought too. After all, he is what he is. What will we be calling him next, a gravitationally-challenged person of ill-repute?
