Ha! I use it because I just don't want the use of "languid" in the language to languish in anguish.

To be fair, the Xbone released after gaming had made its way into the mainstream. Those old Nintendo consoles are from an era when gaming was still considered by most to be a child's pursuit, so they had much smaller audiences.

Like I'm lying in the backseat of my parents' car in the 90s watching the powerlines and the clouds languidly roll by.

You use that seemingly as a means to discredit the site, but if you actually read the article, you'd see that it's very explicit about the speculative nature of its subject. It makes no false claims; it only describes an interesting (if improbable) theory and attempts to explain the rationale behind its inception. Seems above board to me.

Ah, you mean the Antlernet, home of the Herdiverse.

FYI, it's duct tape. For taping ducts.

Nah, it's pretty simple. Pronouns don't use apostrophes for possession; they only use them for contractions like "it's".

Bang-On Balls: Chronicles

It sounds like either a throwaway mobile gacha game or an epic CBT adventure porno, but it's actually a pretty good 3D platformer.

In English, apostrophes are only used for possession and to indicate missing letters (usually vowels), as in contractions.

My example showed apostrophes incorrectly being used for non-possessive plural nouns. I used a proper noun ("Johnson") and a common one ("pizza") to better illustrate my point.

Interesting. In English, I'd say the "idiot's apostrophe" is an apostrophe that's used for a non-possessive, non-contraction 's'.

E.g., "The Johnson's are going to the mall to buy pizza's."
