It is called a typo, deal with it.

>> Mullah’s [sic]

No it’s not. What is a typo is my typing “Mulla” rather than “Mullah”. You obviously have better command of the language than the YouTube poster, since you used “Mullahs” rather than “Mullah’s” when you posted the link on FR.

Refresher: The apostrophe means one of two things:
1/ Something was left out (as in “it’s” is a contraction of “it is”).
2/ Possession (as in “the dog’s bone”, or the “Mullah’s goat”).

Take a look at the posted comments on any YouTube video - embarrassing. The pooblic screwels [intentional] are too busy indoctrinating to bother to do much teaching anymore.

My best buddy - the ex-admissions dean of the largest community college in the U.S. - once said the majority of his students enter with the equivalent of a 9th grade education. “We gwine ta collie” - yeah, right.

If we can’t bitch about this on FR, within a group of the most literate and perceptive people I have ever met, pray tell where?
