How about the statement, "Toledo is an embarassment to Public Universities in the United States." Does that fit the embarassment factor?
When you use the term "public universities" in this context "universities" is not a proper noun and neither word requires capitalization. Really, you work at a public university? That's embarassing.
I Capitalize entirely too many Words. What can I say? Is that better or worse Than always forgetting to capitalize the First word in a Sentence?
I have a paranthetical fetish (one for which I can't account) so I can empathize. I'm not sure it's incorrect (I suspect its not) but I probably need to reduce the frequency with which I use them (although I doubt that will happen).
You apparantly have difficulty differentiating between the use of the words "its" and "it's". The word "its" implies possession, while the word "it's" is a contraction of "it is". In your sentence you used both forms for the same usage (the one meaning "it is"). Your confusion must have caused you to use both to make sure that you were correct at least once.
This is a common practice for those affiliated with schools of lesser learning. :-D
As does double posting. Just hit that little "Submit" feller once. And remember that Lewis, of Lewis and Clark, spelled his name several ways in his journal. I prefer to think that, like the aforementioned American hero, I refuse to be bound by social grammatical convention. And "its" doesn't IMPLY possession- that's what it means. It's not used for any other purpose.
I figured that it would take at least 2 posts for you to understand.
Actually, I didn't even notice the double post until just now. Must have been mouse button bounce.
