thats the secret, T.P.A.M thread is one of the closest guarded secrets of AF. But you should look for a thread hat has over 200+pages and is usually in the 1st page if not the top of the OT.

You need to understand that many or all people herelive very busy lives. They are here to indulgein the Audi talk and are not really worried about grammar or spelling.I know it is very important in thereal world. This is our AudiForum so that we can relax andget some trouble finding help and just talk about our cars.Don't be so critical about thing's that are very petty and enjoy everyone's happiness on owning an Audi............Peace and Happiness.........
No one is too busy for proper apostrophe usage! No one! That one little mark totally changes the meaning of words! Consider guys vs guy's: One refers to a group of people, one indicates that a guy has something. Yet people collapse these worlds of differing meaning into nothing when they get sloppy with their '

So please, think of the '. It's like a comma that's hanging... from a tree... or something. He's your friend. Be nice to him.

my turbo's need to cool down after i make the rev's in my cylinder's.

i thot this thread wuz about grammer.
i'm a pour speller, but i think my grammer is pretty well.
The apostrophe is a punctuation mark, which puts it into the grammar category, no? If you sprinkle commas in inappropriate places, that's not bad spelling, why should it be different with apostrophes?

Or am I misunderstanding you? i was mocking you when i did my quote!!!! it thought you were mad about the content of the message, not the out of place apostrophe!!!! silly me!!!!!!!! i love apostrophies and use them appropriately!!!!! however, i really love exclaimation points!!!! i think i may have a problem, but that just means i'm always excited, right?

turbo's = possession. something belongs to the turbo.
turbos = plural. more than one turbo.
cylinder's = possession. something that belongs to the cylinder
cylinders = plural. more than one cylinder.
cooling down = something the turbos need to do after they rev the cylinders

Excellent work. See what sitting in the front of the class will get you?
