Watches - another OCD problem

[Graeme]

@Steffen I think that more than a few of these car YouTubers come from wealthy families, and aren't as self-made as they claim.

Clymer was a project manager, so probably not making the hundreds of thousands or millions in bonuses that traders and dealmakers would.

That said, I think that most of these watch blogs run on content paid for by the manufacturers.

New watch day…

That is a gorgeous understated time piece. [emoji122]

Yeah, I'm very happy.

If those pictures make anything clear it's that no one should look at a guy's skin with too much magnification… Yuk...

@JDelage that is a beautiful thing.

EDIT: The watch, not your skin 

[Peterpiper]

She’s a beauty alright!

I have had my IHWA-01 for best part of 5 years now.  When I got it, put it on a IH-WS1 - Iron Heart Watch Strap.

I have swum 100's of miles in salt water, done 100's of scuba dives, fished hard in the tropcs and generally mistreated the shit out of it.  It's actually got loads of life left in it, but I decided to go a tad off-piste…..

The king is dead...

Long live the king…

That is GREEN. I love it.

Green's my favorite color. Also, green & black is the colors of the Atreide's flag (geek much?).

Now you need to sponsor a green x black denim shirt. No other option.

We can call it The Kwisatz Haderac. Catchy!

Sigh.

House Atreides, so no apostrophe.  Or if your're going for the possessive, it would be Atreides', or Atreides's, depending on which grammatical convention you prefer.

Kwisatz Haderach.

You people are forcing me to simultaneously  be sci fi and grammar pedantic.

[JDelage]

Ah, I had a doubt about the spelling. Thanks for correcting.

[Chris]

What can I say?  I'm an ass about grammar.

And most things, truth be told…

[Seul]

tl; dr: ass.

[Shoreman]

[…] depending on which grammatical convention you prefer.

I wasn't aware both were considered acceptable…I just assumed one was tolerated because of how often it was misused.

[Chris]

Style guides seem to indicate that both are acceptable, though one or the other is "recommended."

It appears that it can also be dependent on whether the name ending in s is for a singular or plural subject, so going with the above example, it would be
The Atreideses' flag
Paul Atreides's flag

To be safe, I'm just going to call it the flag of House Atreides from now on, because I'm now all confused and paranoid.

I think the first step is admitting it, so good on you.

For my part I couldn't be fagged trying to spell it and instead fekked up a cut and paste. Bite me
