Soy Milk

Soy plants do not have nipples, therefore soy milk does not exist.

It's soy juice and it's gross. It tastes like drinking the liquid left at the bottom of the pan where you just sauteed those vegetables. Oh, you've never tried that?

Exactly.

Happy New Years! And leave off the last "s" for "stupid"

Among all grammatical snafus, this one ranks up there in the "I want to stab you in the face when I hear this" category.

New Year's Eve -- correct. It's the eve of the New Year: possessive.

New Year's Day -- correct. It's the day of the New Year: possessive.

Happy New Years -- WRONG! This concept is not plural.

The way people in this country sexually molest the Queen's English makes me want to take a rape shower. Plurals and possessives share one trait -- they end in an "s." That's where the relationship ends -- an important distinction made by the apostrophe, possibly the most incorrectly used punctuation mark in the English language. Other than the emoticon.

If someone wishes you "Happy New Years," punch them right in the face and tell them that we only get one at a time. If they get upset, tell them that you weren't the one being greedy.
