Homepage punctuation housekeeping - SORTED!

[Anger Man]

Not that I wish to be known as being anally retentive or anything, but when it comes to misuse of apostrophes I'm a bit of a pedant!!

Forum sections that NEED to be amended:

FAQ's - one FAQ, two FAQs, no apostrophe as it's a plural

Same goes for Other Honda's - it should read: Other Hondas, because there are more than one of them!!

While you're at it, just to be perfect -
Members Cars SHOULD READ: Members' Cars, because these are cars belonging to more than one member. If it was a forum for one member only, then it would be member's cars (presuming that this lucky member has more than one car, otherwise it would be Member's Car!!)

Suspension & Drivetrain - (Suspension, Clutches and LSD's) - lose the apostrophe from LSDs. Again, it's plural, not possessive!

As you can tell, this really bugs me. And yes, I have too much time on my hands!!

So please, Andy or Chris, get it sorted guys!!!

Seconded. I'm now paronoid about my grammar.

Hope I didn't f*ck that last sentence up.

:lol: I'll get around to it when I've finished counting the hairs on my lychee fella... :lol:

Cheers for the heads-up. The perpetrator will be found, mocked and eternally tormented. :smt023

:lol:

Don't mean to offend anyone though, easy mistakes to make, but once the proper usage of apostrophes is understood, it makes for better and easier punctuation.

I'd be more worried about your spelling as opposed to your grammar.

I gave up a long time ago on the spelling. you get the f*cking jist anyway! Or is that gyst?

Spot the deliberate mistake!! (or more to the point i thought about it for a mere 2 seconds and went with plural rather than singular because... oh fukc it. You win!!)

What about Type R Owners Forums at the top of this page?

Depends upon the context in which you read it, but i suppose either way it could do with a bit of punctuation.

For example, it could be read as "Type R Owners: Forums" - add a colon

or, as you point out, could be "Type R Owners' Forums" - add apostrophe!

But then it could also be Type R Owners' Forum, cos it's just one big forum?

I'll leave this one for someone else to decide

Now where did my worm can opener go

Shouldn't it be Type-R unless it's about the FN2?

 

[Anger Man]

Explain

 

[Jermal]

Well i thought that the EP3 was reffered to as the "Honda Civic Type-R" and they dropped the - for the FN2, becoming the "Honda Civic Type R". I'm sure I read that somewhere....
