    In fairness I misunderstood @Lanzman 's objection.

    See what I did there?

    Or, to write like a modern American . . . It happen's. Because every plural now need's an apostrophe. Which drive's me nut's.

    There are no apostrophes in possessive pronouns… unless they're contractions, like his'n, her'n, and your'n… :flow: but seeing as those are nonstandard usage the general rule holds.

    And now that apostrophe is being used, I have to show my favorite clip from one of my favorite movies:

    It's also been 7 hours and 15 days and 21 years since someone took their love away from Sinead O'Connor.

    I actually love a lot of Grimes' music but as a Communist... Sheesh. This is kindergarten variety stuff. It's so removed from reality that I can't even answer it.

    Let's be honest, had she not been Musks girlfriend, would we even be aware of her opinions?

    Maybe. She isn't "famous" (if she even is famous, that definition may vary) for being Elon Musk's girlfriend. She was an award winning musician prior to getting into a relationship with Elon Musk. I guess being an award winning musician qualifies someone as "famous".

    Anyway, since she was famous without Elon Musk, it stands to reason her publicly stated opinions would probably be available to us. Maybe, maybe not.

    But her opinion on this matter would have a different context entirely if she were not in a relationship with super-capitalist Elon Musk.

    Point of order: Elon is a supervillain, not a super-capitalist. :async:

    For a guy with such a low view of human beings in general as you do, I'm surprised you don't see the beauty and accuracy of my statement.

    Her "opinion" would still be wrong, though. It's the "opinion" of one who has never worked, nor, apparently, even watched someone who works.
