Things I wish people knew

• The opposite of "democracy" is NOT "communism", the opposite of "democracy" is "dictatorship"; the opposite of "communism" is "capitalism".
  The first pair describe political systems, the second pair refer to economic models.

• "It's" means "it is", "its" is a possesive pronoun meaning that something belongs to "it". It's a mouse. That's its tail.

• I know this is not the first time I've mentioned this here, but it bears repeating: an apostrophe DOES NOT make anything plural, for the love of all things holy! Stop telling me to "buy book's" or whatever. Buy book's what?! What belongs to this book that I must buy?!

That's the end of my rant for today.
