I'm studying editing, and I have no idea whether Nick's' is correct. Except for the fact that it should probably be Nick's's.

| It's a compound f%^&-ing noun. Don't you people know anything about the language? Think about it - they are the posting rules for Nick's Bulletin Board, like the "Collingwood Theme Song" is the theme song for Collingwood. There is no need to problematise things that are quite straight-forward. Thus, they are "The Nick's [Bulletin Board] Posting Rules". |

Same reason I wear mokkos.
I case I need to get up and walk to the bottleshop to buy Jim Beam and cola and a packet of winnie blues. Durr.

I believe it's Derr |
Never thought I'd see this day ( ) - I believe TP's right.. I think it's derrr. What a transformation there has been!
Stui - didn't you quit? You were heading towards being my good example. Guess I'd better find a better role model |
My dear, if you were using me as a role model then you definitely need to stay off the water.
Granted there was a tad of poetic license in my post, I don't usually drink Jim Beam and Cola for breakfast. A Bloody Mary is preferable for breakfast with a Crown Royal with dry ginger for Brunch.
But yeah, I'm back on the coffin nails. A week in Vegas, I caught the habit again.
At least that'as the only thing that came back with me.

Ah, but what if you want to use the possessive? You have Bigfooty's posting rules, Nick's Bulletin Board's design, but what if you just want to talk about Nick's/Nick's'/Nick's's denizens? Then you're screwed. 
It shouldn't make sense just to say "do something different". We should have rules for everything!

http://www.sbs.com.au/comedy/article/2015/10/20/david-jones-risk-losing-racist-idiot-market?cid=trending
"Retailer David Jones has expressed concern that the appointment of Adam Goodes as brand ambassador could cause it to lose the valuable market of racist idiots it doesnt want associated with its brand in the first place.
The appointment of the legendary Sydney Swans player has led to backlash online from people who claim they are furious that David Jones would employ Adam Goodes and that the former player has obstinately refused to stop being indigenous since retirement.
Sources within David Jones claim that while they listen to customer concerns they are prepared to stand behind Adam Goodes.
Obviously its something were monitoring closely, they said, but if the end result of this is that racists refuse to shop at David Jones - well, that seems pretty good to me. That seems like the kind of thing we could put on a poster.
Its pretty compelling. Not only will you look good in our summer line - its a pretty good indicator that you arent a white supremacist and thats the best look of all.
This will define our entire campaign for the rest of the year. Come shop at David Jones. Look professional. Look stylish. Look like a grownup that is capable of treating other human beings with dignity and respect.
However Goodes detractors have insisted that their opposition to the campaign is not racially motivated.
Its not racist, said one antagoniser. We were booing him on the field because of some reason - I cant remember what it was we confected, it was a pretty paper thin like - but anyway we meant it. Now were following him and hounding him for the rest of his life because we uh we didnt like his style of play I guess?
I mean, if our position is that we dont like how he would stage for free kicks I guess we must be concerned he will be awarded a free kick as part of his contract with David Jones? Im not really sure what were saying here.
I just need to find some way to not acknowledge the deep-rooted racism inherent in my actions. Im clutching at straws here. Help me out!
Adam Goodes was not approached for comment as he should not be obliged to answer to every idiot who howls on Facebook because theyre scared of people who arent like them and who dont live to appease them"
and yes, David Jones signature colors are
black and white!!
clever marketing, there is just no hope we can

Unions
The last Election they went all out campaigning on the back of promises made by Daniel Andrews only for him to back away from them and stab them all in the back
All I can do is sit back and laugh at the fact they actually believed the slimy little prick, bad luck guys!  |

| It's ok, Stui - eddiesmith was actually posting about "onions" but the spell-check was a little over zealous. |

Does working in HR give you automatic membership of the HR Nichols society?
