Thank you so much! That was so clarifying! You look very like Hellen Mirren, actress! I hope you are not offended, but you have that Hellen Mirren but also a Younger Merrill Streep vibe, along with your own beautiful essence, of course! Blessings’! Is that apostrophe correct? lol ❤

Respected Ma'am, being the most celebrated grammarian in the universe, you are earnestly entreated with folded hands to let me know if the following sentence is grammatically correct -The bi-cycle is a month's old.

I'm still confused hahaha. So the doctor's bill gets an apostrophe, but the dog chased its tail doesn't? Why? Is it because the subject of the first sentence is doctor, but the subject of the 2nd sentence is not its, it is dog? Because its tail seems like it is an extension of dog, and the tail is what is possessed.

I always thought y’all was slang! Maybe bc in London/the UK, it’s not common dialect compared to the US?! But I am Not saying that American’s don’t speak English as well! Please nobody misunderstand! Lol 😂
