    Suppose you can say the apostrophe and capital you've dropped in the typing of "Queens' (or Queen's) English...."
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Its not the "Queen is" so where is the apostrophe meant to go?
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    It's a possessive apostrophe. It indicates that English belongs to the Queen.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Apoplexy is being considered in view of the permutations of grammar and spelling of the above

    The BDOTGNZA Hit Squad is sharpening the bamboo stakes and is presently about to deploy. First stop? Those amongst us who should know better...

    I was not plagiarising and I was not aware of other UK motorcycle forums as I don't care for much outside of New Zealand.

    As the threat of the BDOTGNZA hit squad, I refuse to flail the english langauge further.
