I speak English like a Native

Wow, something Justice Clarence Thomas and I agree on.

Also: literally, a blog about literally.

Wait, wait wait. You agree with Thomas here? IE, you think it's correct to leave off the final "s" when forming a possesive from a singular noun? That's crazy talk. You only leave off the "s" when forming the possessive of a collective noun! So if we're talking about the car of Tom Jones, it's "Jones's car". If we're talking about the cars of the entire Jones family, it's "the Jones' car"

Really now, you should know better. :)

Hmmm ... so you think it's acceptable to give people preferential treatment based on the color of their skin?
