Well, I'm exactly the same person now that I was when I joined.  Whether that will change is yet to be seen.

Could that be because you joined in November?

You can do it, Nick!
Just take these Valium and it will all be ok......

Deliberate mispelling. Honestly. 

[grooviechickie]

The "reversh" was too, I assume?

Deliberate mispelling. Honestly. 

see. i thought that may have been the case, but then read up for context, and couldn't find any

[Pinball Neil]

What is context?    (and yes, gc)

I think I may have been subconsciously admitting to drunkenness and thus attempting to absolve myself of any cries of 'what's up your arse, neil?'

I missed a lot of this year 

One of the major things this year was the taking of fangirlism to bold new heights! We lost KL, and she got replaced by about 800 of her mini-me's.

(Note to pedants, please help! That apostrophe looks bad, but I'm hoping it's easier to read this way than 'mini-mes', which makes me think of mini-Mez, which would actually be rather a good thing...)

APEC, etc.

Hmmm...

Mini-Mez here, to answer all your pedantry questions.  Yes, it is quite acceptable to use an apostrophe where something is needed to make what you wrote make sense, as in the case of "mini-me's".  Some people take it too far though.  There is no need to put an apostrophe in plural acronyms, as by nature they are in capitals, and the "s" is not, eg: ATMs, or where it's plural numbers, eg: the 1950s.  Though if you are just saying "the '50s", you put the apostrophe in front of the 50 to denote that you are leaving out the "19" part.  Clear as mud?  Good.

So an apostrophe is required to denote contractions Mez?

All contractions?

No, you can say J-Lo without an apostrophe.

Me?

Oh never Mezzalicious!

Now if you wouldn't mind just helping me along in my education we may get to a resolution...

Of course, you are free to go search your posts for such errors prior to answering.

I told you before, SG.  I require documentary evidence before discussing this any further.
