Duncan, congrats on officially making the A-team. I enjoy reading Darren’s Problogger for tips, your site for blogging news and Jeremy’s Ensight for juicy tidbits – all of which help fuel my thinking and posting. Keep giving me things to write about!

Mark

Duncan has always been a terrible at spelling and his grammar is even worser (get it?)

As there is clearly someone more anal about this stuff than me, I will hand over the task of nagging Duncan about his spelling and grammar to you and get on with more useful things in life.

What will I do with all the time on my hands?

Congratulations Duncan (and Jeremy and Darren).

Although Jeremy is the only one of you I have actually met in person, I have followed all 3 of you through the ‘sphere. I always felt you guys had smart ideas. You should be all the more formidable working together.

What’s the difference between yours and your’s?

Yours is the second person possessive pronoun – it replaces “your” + noun.

Is this yours or theirs?

He found a book – is it yours?

I can’t find my wallet, but yours is on the table.

Yours is a better idea.

Yours sincerely

Your’s

Though you may see your’s written even by native speakers, it is incorrect. Yours should never have an apostrophe.

The Bottom Line

The idea that yours needs an apostrophe comes out of the fact that on virtually every other word ‘s indicates possession, so English speakers sometimes think yours should be spelled your’s. However, this is always incorrect – yours is the only correct spelling.

Congratulaions

I maintain a blog network list

does this mean that Weblog Empire is totally gone? .. when you say absorbed do you mean merged or replaced?

Good luck to you, Duncan. I can imagine it’s a big step to dissolve what has been your identity and source of reputation online in a larger outfit. Being a b5 blogger myself, I had the same reservations. But there’s no doubt b5 is going more places than there have previously been places. And, as a board member, you’re in at the kill when Rupert makes his move ;-)

I knew something was up when I saw the “from b5 media” logo on the top right header earlier. Best of luck. :-)
