The awkward moment when her name was actually Eilis.

I dont get it...

tbh, I didnt even finish that story because I knew that she was referring to her memories because she was a loner in Brooklyn.

wtf ??? I just let it be.


Is there a significance in that order?>

 

[mirakon]

the part i didn't get was that the paper said "Eilis's"

I thought correct grammar was Eilis'

It really doesnt matter, just quite a few people have misspelled a characters name hehe. Markers probably wont even notice.

lol yeah, appparently the people who set the paper need a bit of practice themselves.

LOL ouch will we get deducted marks for spelling Eilis wrong? or would the markers not give a damn?

Marker: You spelt Eilis wrong

Me: You said Eilis's instead of Eilis'.

but anyway, I doubt it. But it may give them the impression you did not read carefully but i highly doubt they will directly deduct marks for it.

I was keep writing Eilis's and kept crossing the s at the end... ffs


It was so annoying

There is no way they could deduct marks for it lol! Atleast you'd hope not...

What the heck? Eilis's is fine. In fact, Eilis's is traditionally the preferred/dominant way of putting it, you're supposed to do that after personal names (general accepted convention), it's only modern society or whatever that cbfs now so it's gradually changing, so Eilis' will probably be 100% accepted in a few decades.

You won't get deducted marks. A lot of people often don't even know the gender of the composer and they don't care.

 

[silence--]

This is why you use "she" or "her" instead. 2ez
