the apostroph is placed if it describes the belonging of somebody. steve's car. but if you do it in plural, you do it without apostrophe: alot of steves.


Regarding the correct use of apostrophes, I always refer to this. (Not directly related to this topic, but still a nice link to post).
There's also one on the correct usage of "their" vs. "they're", but the one thing that really bugs me is the phrase "I could care less". I know it should be "I couldn't care less", but people say "I could care less" instead all the time. But that is wrong! It implies that it is possible for you to care less, thus you must care at least to some degree!

Perhaps this post will get me points for originality at least.

Thanks for your help, and for your entertaining additions, as well! wink
"Dice World" and "World Of Dice" are both used over the internet, so I'm not sure that I can use them safely.
The German counterpart seems to be no problem.
Maybe, I should use something like "The Hidden World Of Dice" or "The Unknown Dice World", but that is too long.
Maybe, "Lost Dice". (Mm, maybe, I go for that.)

How about "Roll of the Dice"

Otherwise, my preference is "Lost Dice"

The singular for dice is die. The statement "when a die falls into the world, he can't see the number that makes his fate, he has to sort out his number on the way, collecting hints by the reaction of the others" is correct for a single object, however English uses the concept of objects that do not have gender. A die is an object, a thing. To be grammatically correct the statement would be " When a die falls into the world, it can't see the number that makes its fate. It has to sort out its number on the way, collecting hints from the reaction of others."

The context of the statement makes it clearer that the reference is in regards to an object, however as NITRO777 indicated, a die can also refer to a mechanism for machining objects.

Using the plural of die (dice) further refines the context to something particular.

"Lost Dice" has a cool sound to it.



@Error014 - you're right. I hear it all the time. Another one is irregardless when people really mean regardless.
