Also: I fucking hate this thread and what it has become.

I hated cat macros before it was cool to hate cat macros.

Fun fact: My little avatar-message thing proclaimed my hate for cats. Everyone knows that already though.
I've always hated cat macros! Cat + 'witty' comment DOESN'T EQUAL HILARITY. Even if it appears to be riding a scooter whilst wearing a 'wacky' hat, 'KAY?

Just remember that anything that is a plural, unless it is also possessive, will not have an apostrophe.

A plural is never denoted with an apostrophe, and this includes things like CDs, 1990s, etc. And if it's plural (ending in "s") and possessive, then the apostrophe would just be on the end of the word, anyway.

I just was confused as i don't use the word very often in a plural way.

1) It shouldn't be that confusing, because it never happens, an odd occurence in the English language. 2) Google is your friend as it can also be used as the poor man's spell check.

I adore dictionary.com, and have a little search bar. I use the dictionary.com search function almost as much as I use Wiki.

Yes, it's ten times easier when you don't even have to leave the page.
