Yes, dates do appear in print with and without. The Post box should really have an apostrophe before the decade: the '90s.<BR/><BR/>Anyone who wants to see the work of a fine photographer should take a look at J's blog, <A HREF="http://nearbythesea.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">nearby the sea</A>.Michael Leddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05547732736861224886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343608.post-82127394775182398172008-06-22T07:59:00.000-05:002008-06-22T07:59:00.000-05:00Well, now I'm afraid to comment...I know I'll emba...Well, now I'm afraid to comment...I know I'll embarrass myself with poor grammar and sad sentence construction. But here I go. Forgive me.<BR/><BR/>I agree with you- they made silly mistakes. Shouldn't let work go out like that. Somebody should care. <BR/><BR/>Has the rule about using an apostrophe with decade in number form (1960s, 1960's) changed? I can't remember how I was taught to write it. I see it in print both ways.<BR/><BR/>Just scanned back over your posts for this past week. You bring up so many interesting ideas, so much to think about and mull over. I'm so happy I stumbled onto your blog. Doing a search for Alvin's Secret Code...isn't that funny? Proust, Anne Thackeray Ritchie, your experiences in New York, art and what's important to life...cuzza Alvin.(And, by the way, my daughter thoroughly enjoyed Alvin's Secret Code. We read it aloud together. I had to sum up the plot for my husband who came into the room during the last chapters. A nice family read.)jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16193909101179117134noreply@blogger.com
