    I can't believe it.

    Just look at the bit with mhh...

    "This is my daily driver and, as such, I never really get the chance to stretch the Gallardo's legs...."

    As a grammar freak that makes me cringe to some extent....and in a magazine? I hope they have new editors by now. :)

    What planet you on???? Only 24 hours in a day on Earth. :)

    BTW what is the correct grammer. You didn't answer.

    I always get confused when and where to put the apostrophe. :)

    and lol...btw...how does one do a 44 hour day??

    whilst i can concede that you might have been non stop for almost two days, i can't see how a day can ever be longer than 24 hours!

    Minor fix and:

    OK

    Here are a few examples:

    "I went to the shop and we ate pizzas" that's a plural, so no apostrophe. ;)

    "The pizza's shoes are shabby." indication of ownership, which in this case is what I got totally wrong. :( :eek:

    This is the one that most people get a bit stumped with:

    "The pizza's going to the shop tonight" the apostrophe indicates there is a missing letter, in this case it is i for is

    hahaha, capitalising on my poor fortune. Thanks guys. :)

    Thanks for that, but just one question. When does it go on the end? Give me an example of that.

    Thanks

    edit, BTW I thought it was a pizza, whats a plural. lol :D

    OK, this is an example of that situation...

    when there is a word that usually ends with an 'S' or there are multiples of this owning something, this is when the apostrophe is used on the end...

    Let's say there are 4 Poulos :)D) family members and they own their family car....

    "This is the Poulos' Falcon"

    as opposed to

    "This is the Poulos's Falcon"

    It's a variation of grammar but I choose to use the top one, for me it's easier and I get more marks. ;)
