What you will soon find out is that Runner's World subscribes to the "everything that is old will eventually be new again" philosophy. Odds are that 90% of what you read in Runner's World is not new, but just updated from when it appeared three or four years ago.Jamooshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08891816612062071988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468885075741803050.post-45176237428791231022008-05-08T09:28:00.000-06:002008-05-08T09:28:00.000-06:002008-05-08T09:28:00.000-06:00You make a strong argument, and technically, you'd be correct with the analogy, but you must think of the statement's visual symmetry. How weird would this look: "Dos and Don'ts"?<BR/><BR/>And, the fact of grammar (which I never tell students) is this: There is grammatically "correct" and grammatically "acceptable." Magazines and newspapers often use the latter, more lax, standard.Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01465800584212530717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468885075741803050.post-87626495939734567102008-05-08T08:39:00.000-06:002008-05-08T08:39:00.000-06:002008-05-08T08:39:00.000-06:00Jess, if that's the case then shouldn't they also have written don't's with two apostrophes to be consistent? And why do we break a punctuation rule in order to differentiate it from a word that’s not even in the language that we’re using? Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure that you are right and I certainly don’t wish to argue semantics with an English Professor but it just doesn’t feel right to me.Vanillahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15875001377964050508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468885075741803050.post-79374338656679956602008-05-08T07:48:00.000-06:002008-05-08T07:48:00.000-06:002008-05-08T07:48:00.000-06:00I did think of you when I read about the Izumis.<BR/><BR/>And the apostrophe in "Do's" is acceptable in that usage -- in which it is being used to form a plural (like in the phrase "Mind your p's and q's"); in this case, it distinguishes the word from the Spanish "dos." Sometimes, punctuation rules are violated in order to accomodate purposeful clarification.Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01465800584212530717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468885075741803050.post-41589604347190111322008-05-07T19:29:00.000-06:002008-05-07T19:29:00.000-06:002008-05-07T19:29:00.000-06:00when my 2 year running log at RW gets suspended tommorow, I'm totally blaming you.<BR/><BR/>But then again, it wouldn't be like you to worry about what people think :)Candishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15692045298371535214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468885075741803050.post-22503357847989167452008-05-07T18:30:00.001-06:002008-05-07T18:30:00.001-06:002008-05-07T18:30:00.001-06:00"At this point I was so mad that I just had to get up and wipe."
