    You have to feel sorry for the poor plush squirrel, who's apparently only worth $8.79. I presume it has quite an inferiority complex.

    I'm curious about the 13 people who reviewed the duck... "The squirrel is much better value for your money", "Since I can buy about 4 million squirrels for one duck, I wish I'd seen that option before".

    On the game box, not only did the designer mess up the apostrophes, but the first two are improper usage and should have been left out anyway.

    No, the squirrel costs about 10.000$ but you get it cheaper if you buy it in addition to the duck.

    That is what makes to duck so attractive.

    Actually, this is the one acceptable use for an apostrophe as a plural: forming the plural of single letters. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostrophe#Use_in_forming_certain_plurals

  • Paolo G (unregistered) in reply to TarquinWJ

    I would normally agree, but it is helpful to put an apostrophe in the plural of letters, especially vowels, to avoid ambiguity: "there are four is in 'Mississippi" takes two readings to parse the fourth word as "i's" rather than the third-person singular present tense of "to be".

    What about these "straight g's" that players have to jump in Chinese Checkers? Bad choice of position for that hyphen...

    "FUN GAME OF XS AND OS" takes on a totally different meaning ("excess" and "operating system"?). So, yes, the apostrophes are required here. (Now if it was "Fun Game of Xs and Os" that would be different.)
