Hmmm works now. Oh well.
Edited for your pleasure. ;)
Actually, the proper grammar for 'Focuses' would be just Focus' due to the fact that it's not gramatically correct to add extra s's on the end of a word/name that ends in s.

Did anyone pass English?! I didn't! :P

obviously...

it's plural, so on Focus, you would ad the 'es' after the end. You wouldn't tack on the extra 's' if you were doing possessive - so it's

"the Focus' interior is roomy"
instead of
"the Focus's interior is roomy"
This thread sucks.

well seeing how I just finnished collage and Grammar was one of the key things to pass the course I can tell you these terms are correct.

Focus
Focuss - as in a group
Focus's - as in ownership / the car itself
Focuses - as in many / reffering to ownership / the car itself
Focus' - again correct as in putting in the 's meaning ownership, or the car itself
Foci - can be correct as it's an Internet term.
sweet, that means we are all admins!

thank god someone can read here... what page is this? 4? well, it's 2 pages sooner than scooba noticed.

And yeah, I know it's a mistake, brain farts aren't uncommon for me. I can't remember names or faces either. Be happy I'm not the type of admin to change my post, the quoted posts, and then call you names :P.

Now what should scooba's punishment be??
