Soror cares because she's both a scholar and a student.

That doesn't mean she doesn't care about the apostrophe-plural distinction.
LOL. You give a shit about whether my Soror gives a shit but have the nerve to tell someone else to have a seat.

Since you insist on the unfunny and nonsilencing chair response, stop being lazy. Use the Africa chair.

The apostrophe to make a plural thing is a major pet peeve. I would've probably said something had it not already been done. This board is a place where folks are routinely called out for poor grammar and I love that.

I, sooo often, have to go back and delete commas (and parentheses) because I over use them.

Oh I do want to know the identity of "Lisa" aka "She Who Shall Not Be Named" aka "Bama54." Consider it pushed.

I agree -- leave it open. I'm still interested in the results of the Investigation Biddies Investigation.
Fascinating stuff!
