urrrrgh
people who don't get apostrophes really annoy me. it's soooooo simple.

abbreviation or possessive? it gets an apostrophe. plural? it doesn't. the only two exceptions you need in every day life are "its" and "it's" and "who's" and "whose". THAT'S IT! THAT REALLY IS IT! THAT'S THE GOLDEN RULE YOU MORON.

when i am queen, i will burn every shop selling "fish and chip's".

Can you also destroy all people who mix up "was" and "were" in speech?

First up against the wall
"were not were"

isn't the fundamental problem there "sat" not "sitting" ?

either "i sat" or "i was sitting" would be fine
"i was sat" implies someone picked you up and forcibly parked your arse.

the fundamental problem is, if you say that, you are a colossal fuckwit

I was not disputing that for a second, my dear.
