(25,525 posts)Extraneous apostrophes are everywhere, I guess. Resistance is futile.

(7,540 posts)I wonder if someone who wasn't Luckovich thought they were doing a good job "correcting" the panel.
TwilightZone
(25,525 posts)Very possible.

(1,657 posts)Not that that's not a first world problem. I just hate to see such powerful cartoons marred by those kinda sorta apostrophes. I'd still love to know the story behind their appearance and disappearance .
SoCalDem
(103,856 posts)I got wrapped up with the "let us" and forgot what he actually said .... Contractions in cartoons are usually wrong...oopsie on me..

(51,675 posts)really fast and a cop pulled him over in LA. In his passenger seat was a friend who was a black man. His friend started to panic and Jerry was like, "What's the problem, chill. I'll just get a speeding ticket". That is what the reality is in the US these days, even in liberal LA.

(7,436 posts)and topped by the American public's willingness to give approve of an utterly despicable reprobate like Donald Trump as their iconic leader, then that "horrible reflection" fits.

Susan Calvin
(1,657 posts)But did Lukovich really say let us which is what let's is? What is that funny little thing that's kind of an apostrophe but kinda not? Was he hedging his bets? I know it's trivial in the big scheme of things but it is bugging me.

(11,580 posts)If you can be confident of living through being stopped by the police, I'd call that "privilege." It shouldnn't be, but it is.
