Instead, I see your interest and raise you one obsession:<br /><br />Over the years, I've been the self-appointed head of the apostrophe posse at various jobs I've held, fighting to prevent unintended possessives or plurals hiding their possession. It was mostly a losing war. But the difference between "it's" and "its" was my one non-negotiable thing. So it always makes me gasp those rare times when, because of fatigue, inattention or sheer laziness, I get it wrong. Fortunately, this wasn't one of those times!<br /><br />Which means that, in all seriousness, your comment about getting the two right pleased me more than many other positive comments I've had over the years.

There are intersections in Albany, NY USA where the light is red in all directions, and while diagonal crossing is not exactly encouraged, it is certainly viable and safe. <br /><br />I care more about this topic that anyone who isn't a traffic planner should.Roger Owen Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05298172138307632062noreply@blogger.com
