That's because English is just a conglomerate of other folk's languages.

And a big "ahem" to Buckle-meister: what's that apostrophe doing in "folks", laddie?

The language belongs to folk so there's an apostophe to signify the possession, and because the word folk is plural but doesn't end in an s, the apostrophe lies between the k and s rather than after the s.

Where's the mistake?

Of course, English is a second language to Scots....

I wish this were true.

(I guess if I visit the UK again I better stay out of Scotland! Buckle's already sharpening his Claymore over that sheep comment...)

Not at all. In fact, I have a special place in my heart for you. I like to think of you as 'woofie'

Hoist on my own petard! Mea culpa.

Phew! I thought I'd presented an opertuniti for J Garcia to get even!
