This isn't English language....Language is spoken english. This is English literature...Literature is written english

No, rules about the use of apostrophes comes under English language. Language can be written or spoken, it's how we communicate. Literature is artistic or learned writing, books, plays, poems, etc. Ryan's tutorial might be thought of as a work of literature, if hasn't got any typos. :(

Be'st topic ive 'seen in ages's

Post or PM me the typos please. This is the last update for the NGX for quite a while though so it won't be fixed in the product until SP2 a ways down the road. I had a lot of people go through the document, so not entirely sure how a bunch made it through...On the grammar subject - apostrophes are absolutely not to be used for plurals - they're for possessives. The -s' type thing is for plural possessives that end in s like "my parents' house."

that end in s like "my parents' house."

Shame on you. You're old enough to live alone. :(

I love this thread. When I'm exhausted from digesting tutorial 2, I come here to unwind and have a good laugh.

It's quite interesting that most of the grammar or spelling mistakes I spot in these forums are done by native English speakers.

But speaking and writing are completely separate issues (issue's issues') :(

A part of me tries hard to write in the right (may be correct) way, however, I understand that communication is all about getting a message from one person to another. And that can work in many ways as the quote shows.http://forums.techarena.in/off-topic-chat/1205040.htmKnid rgeradsPaul

This reminds me of the lectures that the Proof Readers would to give the Apprentices when we were learning Typesetting.Now Proof Readers are rare in Print Industry. It's a shame.

Ok people, aside from all this interesting grammar discussion, let me point out a tiny thing: I see the tutorial was done with imperial units in mind, as explained in the beginning, with the metric equivalents in parantheses. I'm just about to start the tutorial so I don't know if it's a consistent thing, however very often I see something like "(2.3 kgs)", page 33 for example. Whereas it should probably be 2.3 tons instead of kgs. Just a minor thing, but I thought I'd point it out.EDIT: Also, I just see on page 50 that 44C seems to be the assumed temperature that comes out of the performance calculation, but you're then asked to enter 45 into the FMC. Again, probably nitpicking, but not sure if that was intentional either.
