Howdy kids! Happy Friday! I've got a juicy comedy nugget for you, strictly text-based, but hilarious nonetheless.

There was an article on Techdirt entitled "No One Is Obligated To Take Down Perfectly Legal Content You Don't Like." It basically was defending unpopular speech/opinions...you know...that old chestnut.

But while reading the comments under the article, someone posted a snippet from some correspondence between The Pirate Bay and a musician named Indiana Gregg (??). The people at Pirate Bay were thumbing their noses at her for complaining about hosting a torrent featuring her music.

So I put my super-sleuth cap on and found a corner of the interwebs replete with dozens of these kinds of exchanges...big names too: Dreamworks, Apple, Microsoft, etc.

Regardless of how you feel about torrents, file sharing, pirated movies, software, et al...reading their responses to these notices was my Laugh of the Month (tm).

I'm sure this isn't the first SiftTalk post to bring this up, but how does everyone feel about sites like Pirate Bay?

I'd really like to know if the apostrophe-s thing on plurals is deliberate. Like "teh" and "I can has" and the like? The number of people who do it suggest that it is deliberate, and if so, fine.

In case you don't know what I mean: post's where word's meant to be plural are getting 's slapped on the end's. It's never grammatically correct unless it's a possessive or contraction. This is what tells me it's deliberate.

I get the joke of "teh" and "I can has." They're funny. I may be too old to "get" the apostrophe-s joke and I guess that's fine too. Out with the old. It's cool. I'll not be the guy who is just a little too old to be at the club, like that Chris Rock joke goes.

I'd just like to know. Apostrophe-s on plurals: Deliberate or Ignorance?
