WNU Editor, I follow almost every post, when I can keep up, which I can't always. Try to credit you whenever I link to some article you led to. Kudos & much appreciation for your amazing and valuable work.

However, I'm sure I'm not the first to note that you seem to have no idea what apostrophes are for.

I can understand, English native language not yours being, contractions and possessives, especially with pronouns, can be easy to confuse, sometimes even for those of us who grew up back when 5th-grade American English teachers insisted students actually know English.

So one might almost forgive the fingernails on the blackboard of this common error:

"As Arab States Step Up To Assist Libya In It's War"

However, this:

"Iran Show's Off The Israeli Drone..."

is so egregiously awful my inner Grammar Nanny screams to the fore. Neither possessive nor contraction, nor pronounish. No excuse!

L'arn y'all some flukin' English, ya durn Rooskie.

Okay, I think my inner nag is satisfied. Carry on.

Sadly ... you are not the first to point out my grammatical mistakes. I humbly admit that my punctuation is sometimes .... off. But that is OK .... this is how I learn. So "Mindful Webworker" .... I give you carte blanche to point out my errors when you have the chance. You are actually doing me a favor .... and one that I seriously do appreciate.

A friend of mine has just said the same thing to me about my grammar .... I sometimes get lost in my punctuation. I know that this is not a good excuse .... but it is true .... when I speak Russian/Ukrainian/French/and English .... all within a time period of about 15 minutes .... my writing gets garbled ... and in all languages. I will now try my best to avoid these scenarios.

Looks like the front end of a "Hermes" drone. OUT.

You are probably right Sebastian.
