S2KI Honda S2000 Forums

Off-topic Talk Where overpaid, underworked S2000 owners waste the worst part of their days before the drive home. This forum is for general chit chat and discussions not covered by the other off-topic forums.

Did they know about correct use of apostrophes? (as opposed to apostrophe's)

To continue the cycle someone now has to point out an error in this post
