I’ve never owned anything made by Microsoft. If Apple went out of business, I’d just live under an old rotting bridge rather than switch. It would be less nasty.

I would imagine an Xbox would be fine with Steve. It's not like Apple makes a competing product.

Honestly, I tend to not even think about Microsoft that makes the Xbox as the same company as Microsoft that makes Windows.

Xbox’s is fine. As is BlackBerry’s, and Chu’s for plural form of the Chinese surname Chu. Not everyone agrees, of course, but language isn’t science and if purpre can become purple, askion and aksion can become ask and aks, and iPhone can have a mid-word capitalization, we can worry less about how I apply an apostrophe in a blog post and more about the actual story, or do we need that special form of self gratification that can only come from trying (and oft failing) to point out nits rather than discuss subject?

And yes, a dude I be. See, in proper grammatical usage, Rene is masculine, Renee is feminine, gots it? :p

What's even MORE annoying is someone criticizing a blogger and being completely WRONG. Renee meant it as possesion not plural. As in the Gates' house. Where the apostrophe means it is the family's house.

Smh....

@Muero,

I’m glad that I am not the only one who gets annoyed at her grammar!
