Apostrophe Madness '07!

1) Who's the party's candidate for vice president this year?

2) The fox had its right foreleg securely in the trap's jaws.

3) Our neighbours' car is an old Chrysler, and it's just about to fall apart.
(Presuming that we have several neighbours rather than a single individual.)

4) In three weeks' time we'll have to begin school again.

5) Didn't you hear that they're leaving tomorrow?

6) Whenever I think of the stories I read as a child, I remember Cinderella's glass slipper and Snow White's wicked stepmother.

7) We claimed the picnic table was ours, but the Smiths children looked so disappointed that we found another spot.
(Presuming that the family in question is called Smiths.)

8) It's important that the kitten learns to find its way home.

9) She did not hear her children's cries.

10) My address has three sevens, and Tim's phone number has four twos.

11) Didn't he say when he would arrive at Arnie's house?

12) It's such a beautiful day that I've decided to take a sunbath.

13) She said the watch Jack found was hers, but she couldn't identify the manufacturer's name on it.

14) Little girls' clothing is on the first floor, and the mens department is on the second.

15) The dog's bark was far worse than its bite.

16) The moon's rays shone feebly on the path, and I heard the insects' chirpings and whistlings.

17) They're not afraid to go ahead with the plans, though the choice is not theirs.

18) The man whose face was tan said that he had spent his two weeks' vacation in the mountains.

19) I found myself constantly putting two Cs in the word process.

20) John's 69 Ford is his proudest possession.

John's '69 Ford is his proudest possession. Oh, and whilst I envy your blog to hell, it's a god damn novel to read. A Ron Jeremy romance novel, even.

I sort of assumed that there was a particular model of Ford called "69"...
Surely they must be running out of generic names by now?

FINE.
