a public service announcement. sort of.

kay, this is just a tiny teeny pet peeve of mine that I thought 'd share, especially w/the barrage of club-talkings going on these past few days.

it is NATION, not "nations" ...no "s". it's not possessive. it just is. I know I know, I dont even GO there much anymore - I just see it typed and spoken so often incorrectly that... yeah. now you know.

and, while 'm on the topic, plz mind your you're and your -seseses. YOU'RE = you are, YOUR = possessive. you would not say: "YOUR AN ASSHOLE!!" unless you were, yourself, an asshole. cuz using incorrect grammar = being an asshole. hehehehee... (hehehe - I made that last part up myself!!)

disclaimer: yes, I realize I use incorrect grammar in my online-speakings all the time, along w/intentional misspellings of things like "foto" instead of "photo" and the like. I consider that part of my "dialect" and I do mind my grammar in relation to the 2 topics I mentioned here. take this post w/a grain of salt, (it is tongue-in-cheek and one might even say sarcastic) - cuz I KNOW you know better, we're all just lazy on the internet.

It's on purpose, it's possesive because it is not really Nation...it is a Nations event, so I dropped the event and started calling it Nations.

So are you gonna go to Nations tonight to see VNV?

[jennytheonly.livejournal.com]

Also, it was Tracks, not Trax.

You know, while we're complaining. :)

Lol! Many people have the Nation pet peeve. It's been a while since anyone's brought it up though.

[djpaulen.livejournal.com]

Actually, it's only possesive if if there's an apostrophe. NATIONS = plural, like if there were more than one club. NATION'S is possesive. So if someone said it was "Nation's Alchemy" that would be correct (like the person above me said). But, people here say, and WRITE NATIONS. LISTEN UP FOLKS: there is only ONE Nation club in D.C. That's it. One. Fucking retards. Guess that's what you would expect from a scene that plays NOTHING but the same shit over and over again.

i'd like to add, that people walk up to the building and call it nations while they can SEE that it says NATION on the side in large letters. NO S!
