Default Matts comment on youngsters at Atlantis

Yes, that subject line is grammatically correct. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]


Some interesting comments from a couple of guys named Matt about younguns playing at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure.

Matt Matros:

One quick thing I wanted to mention about the Bahamas tournament: there were lots and lots of players aged 18-21 in the final five tables down there (which was legal for this event). I don't think that was a coincidence. My guess is that a lot of these young players never learned how to play the "wrong" way, and some of them have figured out lots of creative ways to accumulate chips in NLHE tournaments.

7. Playing with about 870 18 year olds, all of whom played exactly the same.

Another funny thing I forgot to mention was I almost got to watch one of those douchey, know-it-all 18 yrs olds get shanked. He's the kid who goes by Empire2000 online. Not very talented and a giant bag. Anyway he was trash talking this guy next to me who literally had a shank in his pocket.

[/ QUOTE ]

I suspect they are both right. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Gotcha, grammar Nazi [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Matts (plural) + comment (verb)= no apostrophe.

Shouldn't it be Matts' then? It is still their comment, so it should take on the plural possessive?

I believe OP is using comment as a verb, not a noun.
