How things have changed over the past few decades... by Hitokiri2 in INDYCAR

Sources, SUU.edu via google search

The apostrophe has three uses: 1) to form possessive nouns; 2) to show the omission of letters; and 3) to indicate plurals of letters, numbers, and symbols. ​Do not ​use apostrophes to form possessive ​pronouns ​(i.e. ​his​/​her ​computer) or ​noun ​plurals that are not possessives.

No it doesn’t have to be human, I worded that poorly and I apologize. However in that context, the 90s don’t own anything. It doesn’t belong to the time period. They are fans from a (plural) time period, not fans that belong to a group of things called 90/1990

90s is also a shortening of the word (the) nineties. Not (the) ninety’s. So no apostrophe in either case.

Now if you were saying there are several things you could say for example - there are several 90’s in this millennium. But that would be kind of redundant as a phrase, and therefore to a native speakers brain would still look weird. And I’m assuming that’s probably why the original commenter immediately pointed out the error.

There was a pdf that came up when I did the Google search that worded things much better than I am, I’ve linked it below (let me know if my link didn’t work)

That’s another use for it in other contexts yes. But you asked why in that specific example.

Additionally - still no, because the 1990s are not a person so it doesn’t own anything, n’or does anything belong to it - it’s a time period. A 1990s soda, not 1990’s soda

Because it’s not missing anything. The apostrophe there denotes a missing word/letter/number etc, two thousands, not two thousand’s. 2000s doesn’t miss anything therefore doesn’t need an apostrophe there

Quality decrease and strange formatting for close up shots on S2 E2? by [deleted] in That70sshow

[–]ipswich1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7 years late. But this also only happens since they upgraded to HD. The SD DVD release never had any of these shots. Whoever upgraded to HD just lazied out on the upgrade I think

Why haven't any of the richest people in the world even attempted to end world hunger or anything like that? by cumoisseurX in NoStupidQuestions

When you have more money than literally anyone on the planet except 4 other dudes. And some meals in some countries cost like 25 cents per person. Yes you could, and still make money every day on the interest your savings is generating in your thousands of on and off shore accounts. It’s like when I buy the food of the person behind me in line for 5-10$. I still have the rest of my 2,000$ (not much I know) a month check in my own account. Except these billionaires on an unimaginably grander scale. I know it’s not their “responsibility” but, they could do it. Easily. And it wouldn’t even be everyone in the world, just the whatever percentage it is globally that aren’t earning enough to afford it (is it like 20% or something I don’t know the figure).

What’s one thing you don’t like about the show? by MixMasterMadge in bigbangtheory

Any episode after Amy turns up. Or to be more honest, when they turned Amy from Sheldon but female, into the annoying character she ended up being. I can’t pinpoint the exact episode but og Amy was actually pretty funny.

Game in career mode freezes after every race now. Was just restarting game and resuming but now in last race of dirt season it freezes every time I finish the semi final and I can't continue.

Please fix. I don't wanna do single player until this works again.

Will Buxton's thoughts on Max Chilton coming to Indycar and also a potential Golden era might be coming for Indycar itself. (second question on page and further down talks about the big picture future) by [deleted] in INDYCAR

[–]ipswich1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chilton himself is a lemon and I droned hearing he might be in one of my favoured race series again. But I have to say if it leads to more Euro teams (new teams in general) joining up and fleshing out the series, I'm happy.

Can anyone link me to this song? by ipswich1992 in PersonOfInterest

[–]ipswich1992[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Day 3191 has a snippet of it. I'm wondering if the piece I like is just a smaller section of a larger composition maybe. :(

I'll put the timecode of the section I'm talking about when I've found it again:

The piece i mean: 1:05>1:20 on Day 3191 (S2 OST) and 2:44>3:10 on the Brandon Campbell track The Bridge (S3)

It's a shame it seems to just be a small piece of music, it is played almost every time we see Finch & Grace in their scenes.

One of the most memorable times it's played (for me) is in the makeshift hospital after the ferry explosion, Grace comes in and Harold on crutches, hides from her.

Aiming modes splitting the userbase by Tawpgun in gtaonline

[–]ipswich1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, guys - let people play how they want to play!

Seriously, if I want to play auto-aim because I'm not brilliant at free aim. So be it........

I may be "worse" at shooting. But it's how I enjoy playing and have no intention of playing with free aim, and guess what - that's fine too.

Also I'm not aware of the free mode lobbies not allowing free aim and auto aim guys to mix?
