Well, I love the name of the company. If that helps

Your sig could use some updating.

I agree with WG, but I'd add that in this case they should use whatever looks best or most natural.

A lot of grammar rules are just archaic and in reality make the language look clumsy.

Exactly --that is why i simply use dashes(or is it dashs) --it works

It's actually Dawgs Inc. but Dawgs is the public name. The music service is one aspect of the business.

If just Dawgs can be used then the possessive would be Dawgs'.

But if you're supposed to use the full name of the company then it would be Dawgs Inc.'s.

If you are worried so much about grammer, shouldn't it be Dog instead of Dawg?

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Dawgz is better

Reparations for evil deeds?

Reparations for evil deeds?

Yes. More specifically, linguistic Karma for faulty writing.

I'd be happy with a thread on the proper use of contractions. It is didn't not did'nt.

"Oh no he did'nt!" sounds about right to me.

On a side note, I think it's time for an extensive thread on their, there, they're.

Reading "War and Peace"?

It was spelled that way in the beginning. I had to change it when I became a mod, because the apostrophe was messing up my admin access to the chat room.

 

[PosterChild]

Reading "War and Peace"?

No. That would be just inhumane.

A first offense would merit only having to recite The House Of Fame in the public square while wearing a period-piece costume.

BA in Journalism, freelanced for free before giving it up and deciding I like to eat regularly...and occasionally eat good...like adding cheese on my whopper.

You must'a been absent on this day?
